Noronha Lopes reveals Bernardo Silva could return to Benfica: I can confirm | OneFootball

João Noronha Lopes has “a contract waiting for Bernardo Silva” to bring the Manchester City player back to Benfica. The candidate for the leadership of Clube da Luz states that the Portuguese international perfectly symbolizes what he intends to implement at the club.

“Yes, I confirm that there is a contract waiting for Bernardo Silva. And I really want to bring Bernardo back as early as January. He personifies everything I want for Benfica. Identity, a culture of victory, and he is a great Benfiquista. And I can assure you that we won’t stop here,” revealed João Noronha Lopes.

In the last elections in which João Noronha Lopes was a candidate, in 2020, when he was defeated by Luís Filipe Vieira, Bernardo Silva had already shown his support for the former McDonald’s executive. Now, although he has not yet done so publicly, everything indicates that he will do the same again.

Beyond this information about a possible return of Bernardo Silva to Benfica, Nuno Gomes, candidate for vice-president on João Noronha Lopes’s ticket, took a jab at Rui Costa: “In the transfer market we will be more demanding, with criteria, in order to select the best, in coordination with the strategy and objectives defined. Benfica cannot sign more, but rather sign better.”
