Man City Stars and Wives Bid Farewell to Bernardo Silva

Manchester City stars, along with their wives and partners, gathered late Tuesday evening to bid farewell to midfielder Bernardo Silva, partying into the early hours before the Premier League season resumes. The event marked the end of Silva's nine-year tenure at the club, which concludes at the end of this season.

The farewell took place at the "Louis" nightclub in central Manchester, starting at 8:00 PM and lasting approximately five and a half hours, with the last guests leaving at 1:30 AM. Phil Foden and his wife Rebecca Cook were the first to arrive to say goodbye to their teammate.

Notable Attendees and Departures

Former City captain Kyle Walker, who played for the club from 2017 to 2025 before moving to Burnley, was present, though he appeared without his partner Annie Kilner. Midfielder Mateo Kovacic arrived with his wife Izabel, joined by England goalkeeper James Trafford and former Arsenal star Kolo Touré, who now works on Pep Guardiola's coaching staff.

Erling Haaland attended with his girlfriend Isabel Haugseng Johansen. Rather than pose for photos, the couple hid in the back seat of a luxury Mercedes Maybach S-Class, worth £400,000, to avoid being photographed. Several other players left in dark vans through a waste disposal area.

Other attendees included Marcus Bettinelli, Nicolás González, Matheus Nunes, Rayan Aït-Nouri, Abdukodir Khusanov, Tijani Reijnders, Nathan Aké, and Rodri. John Stones and his wife Olivia Naylor were notably absent.

Silva's Ride Home

Silva was driven home by teammate and Portugal international Rúben Dias in his Lamborghini Urus, despite the distance to Silva's apartment being reportedly no more than 150 yards. When a coaching staff member pointed out that Silva could have walked, the reply was, "I don't think he was capable of that."

Foden, wearing a white shirt, jeans, and a blue jacket, left just before 10:00 PM with Cook, who wore a sleeveless white top and carried a white handbag. England international Marc Guéhi was seen leaving at 10:30 PM.
