Jorge Mendes, his agent, would be in the research of an accessible formula, but there are not a lot of advances.
The international with Portugal has not finished to explode under the orders of the 'Cholo' Simeone neither showed the same magic that during his time in the Benfica, although with Chelsea, in his cession during the second stretch of the 2022-2023, left several cinceladas of quality.

From it does some days comes insisting in that Xavi wants to have a midfield player that can play of '10' and that Bernardo Silva is the altlernativa that more likes him, but is an operation more than complicated by the economic requirements of the Manchester City.
Although the egarense is not convinced, from the dispatches the opinion is very different.
