Fans seem to think that Bernardo Silva could be moving this summer after a warm embrace with Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola following the club’s Champions League victory.
City were crowned champions of Europe for the first time in their history last night and clinched the treble after beating Inter Milan 1-0.
Several of the players and staff were bursting with emotion at the full-time whistle, and many spotted a moment between boss Guardiola and Silva that they think signals the end of his time at City.

They shared a tearful hug which was caught by the TV cameras, with Silva speaking about his future after the game.
He told Telefoot: “We’ll see what happens in the next few weeks and months. But right now we need to celebrate because we’ve achieved something special.”
Silva has been an influential part of City’s success this season, particularly in Europe where he has featured in every single match played.

However, the Portuguese midfielder has recently been linked with a move to French giants Paris Saint-Germain, as per Manchester Evening News.
It would see him reunite with former Monaco teammate Kylian Mbappe and become a big part of the club’s future as star player Lionel Messi leaves.

One fan tweeted: “Bernardo Silva nailed on to leave this summer. Will be a massive loss to City.”
Another said: "Long embrace between Pep Guardiola and Bernardo Silva. It looks like this is the end..."
Another criticised a potential PSG move saying: “Bernardo Silva leaving City for PSG has to be the dumbest move since Neymar’s.”

Despite the rumours, one fan is worried about who City could replace him with, saying that they can dominate if they find a proper replacement.
All eyes will be on City this summer to see how they operate in the transfer market.
They are the best team in the world right now, so the prospect of them improving their squad even further should scare their rivals.
