Bernardo Silva has been one of the players that FC Barcelona wanted for his team in the summer market. However, the problems to register the new signings made it impossible to incorporate him
Ferran Soriano, CEO of Manchester City, made it clear before the market closed that the club was not in the business of transferring Bernardo Silva. The manager was asked if the Portuguese would continue in the English team this season. “Of course,” was his reply. Previously, the player himself had stated that he was happy at his current club
But it was now that Paulo Silva, Bernardo Silva’s father, explained why the player stayed at Manchester City: “There were a lot of talks, but no concrete offer was made at the times we thought were right
When he arrived, we realized that it was no longer the right time for all parties involved. Things have to happen rationally and it was not the ideal scenario for Bernardo. He is a mature player, he is 28 years old. Things have to be done rationally, not emotionally “, he told Stats Perform
