This season, playing for Manchester City, Bernardo Silva – valued at 38 million euros – has made nine appearances: seven in the Premier League and two in the Champions League. In the 553 minutes he has been an option for Pep Guardiola, the former Benfica player has yet to score but already has one assist.
