Rumours Bernardo may leave | Still 1 year left on contract

[Coatigan]

You mean the club don't go around randomly telling key players they have no plans for them in the future at a crucial stage of an ongoing season, and then telling the media about it?

 

[jimharri]

Not seen him play this season or last then?

If a team had coughed up the money for him over the past couple of summers then he’d have left already by now.

Agreed. He's been way, way off the level he was performing at in the 3 or 4 seasons before that.

Bernardo is an absolute legend but he’s simply not good enough for us anymore.

as with Kev - I know these are club legends but at the and of the day the fall off- particularly in midfield has been dramatic. The loss of Rhodri was a major blow but a rebuild means moving players out as there are only so many places available

 

[M12Blue]

Doubt the club go telling players under contract they aren't part of their plans, that bit seems like bullshit.

Him wanting to go though, sure can believe that.

He will have a year on his contract, I can see him seeing that out tbh.

More likely, if true, he’s been told will feature less and if wants to secure departure, which he’s been hinting at for a while, we can facilitate that.
Edit: caught up with thread, I smell BS

If true, this needs to be a mosaic as a tribute.

Pep has a press conference coming up in just over an hour. He's bound to be asked about it, my guess is it's BS.

Slimey;

"Did you personally tell Kevin and Bernardo they aren't needed anymore and what was their reaction"?

I think logically next season makes sense, keep a bit of experience around to help the new signings, although it looks like Gundo will also get his extra year.

Likewise I think if the club had an offer come in that suited the player and club I think both would consider it.

Or Pep will be as purposely vague about it as he is about everything else :)

There is that much made up shit in the news sport related or otherwise nothing surprises me any more.

I feel bad slating a once Fabulous player but 2025 Bernardo offers absolutely nothing slows us down spins around in circles and plays the ball backwards ,much like Pep has coached into Grealish and Foden . definitely the right time to part company and remember what an incredible player he has been .
Next one to go should be Stones a 20 game a season player at a 60 game a season club. .

Surely Pep is the one to get rid of then, no?

I was told by a member of Peps inner circle during international break week that Bernardo was down and unhappy,maybe he was told then ,,?

I've seen every kick of his over the last 2 seasons.
And how do you know he'd have left?

You saw him play on Saturday right? 'Offers nothing' my arse..

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

There is an annual end of season myth that Bernardo wants to leave City. Its gone on for years now. I always ask for someone to signpost me to anything that substantiates that myth and nobody has ever been able to do it.

Oh yeah?

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

I hope he stays tbh. Not what he was once and I honestly think he has won everything he can and what else is there to achieve for him. As dressing room inspriation and carrying on the City ethos into the next generation I think he would be good but its time to let him do what he wants because he cant pplay at the very top level it seems now.

He was key to our success, as much as Kompany, Kevin etc, without him we wouldnt have done what we have.

Deserves a great send off.
