One problem is that other Premier League clubs are effectively excluded from bidding on Bernardo. He wants to leave England and Pep would never sanction a sale to a domestic rival. Eliminate Chelsea, Arsenal, and of course Man Utd and Liverpool, and you‘re left with PSG and Real Madrid since Barca is broke. Real Madrid is already stacked with midfielders. PSG knows it’s the only club left that wants and can afford him in a top 5 league, hence no bidding war to drive up the fee. And if Bernardo wants to cash in on the Saudi offer, PSG will lose interest because it can‘t compete with the salary the Saudis are offering.
He's certainly been a disappointment outside of Benfica but whenever I watch him I still feel there's a great player there. If anyone can bring it out of him, it's Pep.I dont get how people think that Felix is anything more than mediocre.
I don't want to lose Bernie but this "i want to leave" saga every off season is getting old.Felix for Bernardo? Different fucking levels
He's a good, skillful player, it's just that he's wasted at AM and was at Chelsea.I dont get how people think that Felix is anything more than mediocre.
Surely Bernardo wants to play footballI don't want to lose Bernie but this "i want to leave" saga every off season is getting old.
We're never going to find a direct replacement of his quality and it seems teams aren't keen on spending the money.
I was just thinking it gets Felix out of Madrid and appeases Bernie's desire to be nearer his home.
Yeah but the level of football is better than in Saudi and PSG and they seem to be the only other options currently.Surely Bernardo wants to play football
Why would he go to a Simeone team
MeeeeeeooowI dont get how people think that Felix is anything more than mediocre.
I don’t get your point at all. Bernardo has never given anything other than his absolute 100% best, so the “saga” as you describe it is not an issue. He can think about leaving for the next 5 years if he wants, but he can stay and play like he has done every season for meI don't want to lose Bernie but this "i want to leave" saga every off season is getting old.

Does meeeeeeooow mean he’s right?Meeeeeeooow
I am not doubting his commitment to us when he's playing and have said i want him to stay.I don’t get your point at all.

I’m not feline much Felix loveDoes meeeeeeooow mean he’s right?
One of the biggest myths in football. Seen him play around 30-40 games for club & country and not once has he put in anything above a 5/10. The best I’ve seen him play was at Fulham and he got sent off.I dont get how people think that Felix is anything more than mediocre.
I think most people simply have done the assumption that since he once cost €127m he must have a god-given talent. People knew almost nothing about him, see that he goes for a monster fee, watch some youtube comps and think he's the real deal. If Atletico had paid something like €15-20m for him at the time almost no one would have the idea of Felix being a potential superstar if he could just find the right club today. When Barca bought Dembele it was a similar story, he was maybe like a €40m player at the time that Barca hugely overpaid for. It took years before people realised he wasn't a superstar who just couldn't get going at Barca, and that he in fact was just a mediocre player who never should have cost anything close to the €135m in the first place.One of the biggest myths in football.

Guarantee anyone who raves judges players on YouTube. Samaras looked good on there.
It baffles me that no one is stumping up around 70-80 mil for one of the best midfielders in the world. I just dont get it. How are teams from europe not all over him?If Declan Rice is going for £105m, Bernardo Silva is worth £175m if not closer to £200m.
If it even remotely looks like he’s going for that price. Offers will start to fly in left right and centre!Heard he will go for £45-£50 million which if true is absolutely shit from our side . End of the day if they want him then stump up £ 60 plus million or he stays .
There really aren’t that many teams that can afford that level of transfer fee....It’s basically us a few other Premier League Clubs...Madrid Bayern and PSG...The Italians clubs have no money for the most part ...It baffles me that no one is stumping up around 70-80 mil for one of the best midfielders in the world. I just dont get it. How are teams from europe not all over him?
