Alert, Benfica! Bernardo Silva’s future still the talk of the town | OneFootball

Bernardo Silva is on the shopping list of several top European clubs. According to information provided by the portal Caught Offside, there are also Saudi Arabian clubs very attentive to the situation. This international interest in the midfielder, trained at Benfica, promises to shake up the market and create a real battle for his signing.

Manchester City has not given up on Bernardo Silva yet

The scenario greatly concerns the structure of Manchester City. The English tried to renew the contract with the creative player, but saw their plans thwarted. Despite the initial refusal, the Etihad officials have not given up on securing the continuity of the star, considering him a fundamental piece for the sporting success of the citizens.

“You can't imagine the enormous player that Bernardo Silva is. We will miss this player. I hope he can renew for I don't know how many centuries,” said Pep Guardiola, when asked about the future of the Portuguese international at Manchester City, after the victory in the League Cup semi-finals against Newcastle, by 2-0.

With so many powerful clubs interested in Bernardo Silva, the desired return to Benfica seems an increasingly complicated scenario. The financial capability of the competitors puts the Eagles in a delicate position, distancing the dream of seeing the former Seixal golden boy shine again with the Sacred Mantle soon.

This season, playing for Manchester City, Bernardo Silva – valued at 27 million euros – has played 29 games so far: 21 in the Premier League, five in the Champions League, one in the FA Cup, and two in the League Cup. In the 2014 minutes he was Pep Guardiola's choice, the former Benfica player scored one goal and made three assists.
