Bernardo Silva leaves Manchester City. The veteran attacking midfielder’s contract expires in June and he has no plans to renew with Josep Guardiola’s side. The Portuguese player has received offers from different continents, but has a clear future in mind: Barcelona.
According to A Bola, the Portugal international’s priority after joining City in 2017 was to play at the Spotify Camp Nou, and he has informed his agent Jorge Mendes, who has a great relationship with Joan Laporta and Deco. The manager brought many players to the club, including Lamine Yamal, Balde, Casado, Cancelo and others. According to the Portuguese newspaper, Silva wants to play in La Liga and his ambition is to be part of the Blaugrana team.
Position covered by roses
Barcelona do not consider his contract a priority. Years ago, they tried hard to sign him, but now he is not a red-marked player on the sporting director’s agenda, in part because coaches and executives believe they have enough players in midfield. Silva can also play on the right side.
However, according to A Bola, the veteran footballer intends to wait for a possible offer from Barcelona before tackling other proposals on the table. Some of the offers are from Europe, from very competitive teams such as Juventus, but he also has offers from other continents. MLS and Saudi Arabia teams are hoping to add him to their squad. But his bet at the moment is Barcelona. And he seems willing to wait…
