The Manchester City begins to fear by the exit of one of his figures in summer. Bernardo Silva, key piece in the diagram of Pep Guardiola, is free from the Sunday to negotiate with any club and, in his last interview with 'Record', left clear that will expect to the end of season to define his destination of face to the 2023/24. In this sense, the mediocentro will opt for choosing the one who consider like better offer for his future.

"I will not hide that my aim in the last years, if sucede something well in other places, probably will be to change to a new project. When going in in a new team to the age of 29 years, only would finish this agreement to the 34 years", explained the one of Lisbon. Bernardo arrived to the City in the summer of 2017 beside the Catalan technician from the Monaco in return of 50 million euros.

On his options to remain in the Etihad Stadium, the luso did not doubt in desvelar his plans. "In June go back to speak to see what is the best. I am concentrated in the project of the City and my agreement would finish to the 31", said regarding what the managerial 'sky blue' offers him. In the 2022/23, the luso adds 2 goals and 5 assistances in 24 apparitions, numbers underneath of his usual performance.

In this sense, one of the most interested in his traspaso will be the FC Barcelona. Xavi Hernández insisted in his signing the past summer, but the problems of the club with the 'fair play' financial and the no gone out of Frenkie of Jong made impossible the operation. Pep Guardiola had clear that the mediocentro saw with good eyes the option of the Barça, but the City had not accepted less than 100 million net euros to leave him go.

The dream of Bernardo Silva for his future

On the other hand, the mediocentro 'wetted' on his wish of face to the future, which has to see with returning to his country. "My dream was not to play in the best club of the world, was to play in the Benfica. It did not know to which level went to arrive. I began with seven years and always played, of the 12 to the 17 played very little, but afterwards have arrived to this level is a pride for me because I am in one of the best clubs of the world. I attained to arrive to the peak", commented Bernardo.

The luso formed in the 'eagles' and abandoned the club in 2014 to play in the Monaco, club that purchased him definitively in 2015. Besides, the player explained how sees of face to the next years. "The players, mainly in my position, with my characteristics, play to the highest level at least until the 36 years". In this regard, it put like example to Luka Modric, still valid with the Madrid and his selection, in addition to Xavi and Iniesta, this last still activate in Japan.
