There was a very long and emotional embrace between him and Pep post match,it looked like an extended thank you and possible goodbye......hope im wrong.
I have no idea why he would want to leave this club,unless he despises Manchester which is not unreasonable.Was talking last night, love Bernardo, but if he’s prepared to leave us for PSG, then his heart really isn’t in it and it’s not mindset Pep would want.
I personally can’t see why he’d go to PSG, I just can’t see him going there.
Paris is a beautiful city, the playing and coaching intensity will be significantly less, and with a child on its way, he might just feel now is the time for a fresh start both for himself and for his family.Was talking last night, love Bernardo, but if he’s prepared to leave us for PSG, then his heart really isn’t in it and it’s not mindset Pep would want.

I suspect he wouldn’t be spending too much time in the Banlieues. He’s apparently spoken about the intense pressure of working under Guardiola, so it might be he wants a break from that, especially if he has no interest in pursuing a career in coaching. I’d love him to see out the final two years of his contract and then go back to ‘his club’, but I can also understand why he might want to move now.Paris is a huge gigantic hovel. With significantly more civil unrest than Manchester.
Madrid, Barcelona or back to Portugal I get. France, Paris I don’t get. I just don’t see that bring his mindset personally. Plus he’s already done the French league and won it.

This. I think folk underestimate how tough it must be working over an extended period for a perfectionist, driven, Pep. City must be the toughest (and most rewarding) gig there is. Undoubtedly, if you do as Pep asks he will make good players great and great players world class. In that he is unique. But there is a price to play for continuing to push yourself to meet those unbelievably high standards. Bernie is not the same guy as when he joined. If he has had enough and wants lesser pressure then fair play. He will always be a hero to us.He’s apparently spoken about the intense pressure of working under Guardiola, so it might be he wants a break from that, especially if he has no interest in pursuing a career in coaching.
