Pep Guardiola hails Benfica target: He’s capable of anything | OneFootball

Bernardo Silva received a lot of praise from Pep Guardiola in a recent press conference held by the Manchester City manager. The Spaniard placed the player, who came through Benfica’s academy, among the best players he has coached during his long career.

"He is top. One of the best. He is capable of everything", Pep Guardiola, Manchester City’s manager, began by saying. It’s worth remembering that throughout his career, the Spanish coach has managed names such as Lionel Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Ribéry, or Robben, among many others.

Pep Guardiola went on to comment on the impact of Bernardo Silva at Manchester City: "He doesn’t score many goals or provide all the assists. He’s never done that, but he gives us things that don’t show up in the statistics and that are incredibly valuable to us. He is undoubtedly one of the best players I have ever coached".

Pep Guardiola’s praise comes at a time when there is much speculation regarding Bernardo Silva’s future. The midfielder, who came through Benfica’s academy and is an international for the national team, has a contract with Manchester City until the summer of 2026.

This means that Bernardo Silva will be free to sign with a new club starting next January. The midfielder from Seixal has been repeatedly linked with Benfica, but his future remains uncertain at this time.
