Look out, Benfica! Bernardo Silva chases a dream | OneFootball

Bernardo Silva’s future at Manchester City remains uncertain, at a time when the Portugal international is nearing the end of his contract with the English club. The attacking midfielder has been linked with several destinations for next season; however, Benfica is not one of them.

According to 'Diario AS', the English club’s number 20 still dreams of playing for Barcelona, a scenario that could also gain momentum due to the close relationship between Jorge Mendes, his agent, and Joan Laporta, president of the Catalan club.

However, it should be remembered that, besides the Catalans, Juventus and Galatasaray have also been widely linked with a concrete interest in the player, with 'La Gazzetta dello Sport' recently reporting that the Turin club is considering offering Bernardo Silva a three-year contract, in addition to other perks.

A lower salary (between €7 million and €8 million) than the one already mentioned in relation to City would be the solution. But with financial variables that would allow the Portuguese midfielder not to lose earnings or, at least, not to lose them significantly. Naturally, a signing-on bonus as a free agent would allow for a significant payout.

This season, in the service of Manchester City, Bernardo Silva - valued at €27 million - has already made a total of 42 appearances: 30 in the Premier League, eight in the Champions League, three in the EFL Cup and one in the FA Cup. .
