Bernardo Silva back at Benfica? Jorge Mendes gives a clear answer: Still... | OneFootball

Jorge Mendes admitted that it is still too early to think about Benfica. According to the super-agent, Bernardo Silva has not yet decided on his future, at a time when he is entering the final stretch of his contract with Manchester City, where he is one of the captains.

On the sidelines of the Globe Soccer Awards event, where he was recognized as the best sports agent, Jorge Mendes made statements to the Portuguese press present at the ceremony, with the future of the former star developed at Benfica being one of the topics discussed.

"You have to ask him," replied Jorge Mendes when asked whether the possibility of returning to Benfica as early as 2026 is real. It’s a scenario the sports agent quickly dismissed, stating that the athlete is the one who knows what his decision will be.

On the other hand, Jorge Mendes stressed that it is still too early to discuss such a scenario: "It’s still early, it’s still early..." The agent's words can be interpreted in this sense, since there are still six months left before the contract ends. Another scenario points to the 32-year-old player considering other destinations before a possible return to Luz, as he himself had already admitted.
