Bernardo Silva’s Benfica return hits multi-million snag | OneFootball

Benfica wants Bernardo Silva to return to Luz. The midfielder's contract with Manchester City ends at the end of the season and, by all indications, he will not renew. However, the competition is strong and the Portuguese international has a staggering offer from Saudi Arabia.

According to information reported by 365Scores, representatives from the Middle Eastern league met with Bernardo Silva's agents and presented the former Benfica player with a salary offer between 35 and 40 million euros annually.

The Saudis also offered Bernardo Silva a contract valid for the next four seasons, until 2029. Besides clubs from the league of Cristiano Ronaldo, João Félix, and Jorge Jesus, Barcelona and Juventus want to sign the player trained at Benfica.

This season, playing for Manchester City, Bernardo Silva – valued at 38 million euros – has played nine matches: seven in the Premier League and two in the Champions League. In the 553 minutes he was an option for Pep Guardiola, the former Benfica player has not scored any goals yet, but he has provided one assist.

In Benfica's main team, Bernardo Silva played only three matches. His debut with the Sacred Mantle took place on October 19, 2013, when the Eagles, then led by Jorge Jesus, traveled to Cinfães. The Portuguese international came on in the 80th minute to replace Filip Djuricic, in a match that ended with a 1-0 victory for the Eagles, with a goal by Ola John (52’).
