According to Tasnim news agency, Bernardo Silva, who was heavily discussed to join the Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain teams this summer, finally decided to stay in Manchester City to continue his work under Pep Guardiola this season. He revealed that Manchester City only received one official offer for him this summer, but ultimately decided to stay with the Blues.
This Portuguese midfielder said: “Manchester City is one of the top three teams in the world right now, so I couldn’t be in a better place than here.” Manchester City is the club I want to be at and I’m happy about that. It was not difficult for me to make a decision, because there was no special offer. There was only one official offer from a club and there was no other news, so it was easy for me and the club to make a decision because the only offer that was made was very late and it was not easy for the club to find a replacement.
The 28-year-old Silva, who joined Manchester City from Monaco in 2017, has played 257 games for this team and has scored 50 goals and provided 53 assists. The Portuguese midfielder, who has a contract with Manchester City until the summer of 2025, has helped the team win 11 different trophies, including four Premier League titles and one FA Cup title.
