Manchester City are already looking ahead to who could take the captain’s armband if Bernardo Silva moves on, with a new prediction putting Ruben Dias and Erling Haaland among the leading contenders.
Silva has been a key figure for City and has regularly been part of the leadership group, but his future remains a major talking point. With an exit now being discussed, attention has turned to how Pep Guardiola could reshape his on-pitch leadership.
Among the names linked with the role, Dias stands out as a natural option after establishing himself as one of the side’s senior voices since arriving at the Etihad. Haaland has also been mentioned as a contender, having become one of City’s most important players and a clear presence in the dressing room.
The prediction comes as City prepare for another season at the top, where leadership on the pitch will again be crucial. If Silva does depart, the club will have a decision to make on who becomes the next permanent captain and which of the current leaders is best placed to carry the responsibility.
