Will Bernardo Silva stay at Manchester City? De Bruyne’s teammate is clear

This summer’s transfer window has one huge surprise, which is Catalan side FC Barcelona. Although basically penniless and with a huge debt on the club’s credit card, the club’s management mysteriously manages to buy exceedingly interesting players and the next one to be added to the collection of catches should be Portuguese Bernardo Silva.

Kessié, Christensen, Koundé, Lewandowski, Raphinha and now maybe Bernardo Silva. The transfer window is looking more like a career mode in the FIFA game series than real purchases with a destination at Camp Nou from the Blaugrana. But it is a reality after all.

The glut in the Citizens’ squad is essentially permanent and you’d almost want to say it’s growing with each passing year. Few are guaranteed a place in Pep Guardiola’s starting line-up, which is, after all, exactly the state of affairs the Spanish manager likes.

However, Kevin de Bruyne let it be known in a recent press conference that he is not worried at all about the future of his midfield teammate, and also that he is confident about the Portuguese player staying at the Etihad Stadium.

Anyway, thinking back to the golden era of Barcelona, most of the players were very similar in terms of typology.

So, Bernardo would definitely fit Xavi in the squad and together with the talented Pedro they could literally work magic and come up with absolutely brilliant actions that will entertain the whole football world.

The former AS Monaco player has clearly been one of the best players in Guardiola’s squad in recent seasons. And even though the Spanish coach has an undisguised affection for the Catalan colossus, he will do his best to keep the undistinguished maestro in his team.

Twenty-eight-year-old Bernardo has played 252 games in a Manchester City jersey across all competitions so far, scoring 48 goals and assisting another 50.
