Bernardo Silva is at 27 years old one of the most important footballers in the City game, and his future at the club is practically a matter of state. That is why, when he was close to leaving Manchester last summer, the alarms went off at the Etihad Stadium. The situation seems to have turned 180 degrees. As AS has learned, negotiations have already begun to extend his contract and raise his record considerably, making him one of the highest paid footballers in the world. The dream of the Portuguese midfielder is to play one day in Spain, but for now Manchester City, with whom he currently has a contract until 2025, has moved to try to postpone that desire.
According to The Times, Bernardo Silva would have come to the conclusion that there is no better club to play possession football than City. Like Silva, more teammates from the citizen team would have come to the same conclusion. Without going further, the Manchester team announced this week the renewal of defender Joao Cancelo until 2027.
Despite rumors about a possible exit, Guardiola has blindly trusted Bernardo Silva this season, who has played 22 Premier League games as a starter, out of a possible 23 – he only missed the league debut against Tottenham. The Portuguese has responded to his coach’s confidence and has already scored seven goals at this stage of the campaign, four more than the three goals he achieved throughout the 2019-20 season and one more than the six he achieved in 2018-19.
