Dias and Silva tried to lure ex-Benfica man to City: quality was clear... | OneFootball

Bernardo Silva recently revealed a conversation he had with Rúben Dias, his teammate at Manchester City and in the national team, in which they urged the English club to sign João Neves when he was close to joining PSG.

"Ruben Dias and I have a funny story from the time of the European Championship in Germany. We knew João Neves was close to signing for PSG. Rúben and I started calling City telling them not to let him slip away," he told DAZN in the second part of the interview 'bernar20: Goodbye, Manchester'.

"At the time, City had other priorities because in midfield we had a lot of players, and in the end they didn’t move forward. But we kept bothering City not to let him slip away. They had other priorities at the time and decided not to go ahead, but it’s a nice story," he said.

"I think nowadays they may be a little regretful after seeing... We already knew João and had already trained with him too, so we had already seen what he was about, because he’s a player who doesn’t deceive," he added.
