Manchester City assistant manager Pep Lijnders discusses captain Bernardo Silva's future at the club saying, "every good story comes to an end". The midfielder's contract expires at the end of the season and he is yet to sign an extension. Silva has been linked with La Liga leaders Barcelona, Serie A side Juventus and clubs in America. City signed the Portuguese international from Monaco in 2017 and he made his 450th appearance for the club in Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final win against Liverpool. City's Carabao Cup win last month was his 18th piece of silverware at the club.
