Gaspar Ramos hopes Premier League star joins Benfica, says he’s a cut above | OneFootball

Gaspar Ramos says he would like to see Bernardo Silva return to Benfica in the next January market. The former head of the football department of the red emblem highlights the quality of the current Manchester City player and says he would be an asset at Luz.

"It is clear that it is always pleasant for us, Benfiquistas, to see a player who is a homegrown talent and who has above-average quality return," confesses the former director in an interview with Record newspaper, although he considers the arrival of the Portuguese international to be an unlikely scenario.

"It won't be very easy. I admit that it could happen at the end of the season, but, in the middle of the season, it seems to me something difficult. There is interest from Noronha Lopes and even from Benfica for Bernardo Silva to return, but there is a reality that we cannot forget: the one who manages Bernardo Silva's interests is himself and, certainly, he will also have a say on the matter."

Gaspar Ramos also recalled that in the previous elections, Bernardo Silva was a supporter of João Noronha Lopes: "I repeat, we must pay attention to the player's interests. And only he can manage that," reinforces the former director, admitting that the player's signing will not be 'cheap'.

"Indeed, Benfica is currently practicing very high values. Just look at the most recent signings. We are already living beyond our real possibilities. Noronha Lopes, whom I know relatively well, is competent, sensible, and balanced. He will certainly bring another asset to Benfica. Bernardo Silva is an individual who still has an enviable physical capacity and an important maturity to build a great team," he concluded.
