Bernardo Silva contract situation

He looked really happy when Gundo scored that winner, not like someone who wanted away.

Maybe he'd worked out how he was going to slate Grealish the day after.

He rarely seems to be a problem, usually sounds upbeat in interviews, and I assume understands that he's got a contract and it'll take a big offer to even make a move an option. He still has 3 years left.

He must just be great to have around.

I suspect you've never had the opportunity to live /work in a Mediterranean/Southern European environment. Live in Manchester, London or Madrid/Barcelona....? Hmmm.... wait a minute while I get my passport.

There's absolutely no comparison, even less if it's where you come from in the first place. The UK offers very little to attract elite sports people beyond big money.

The main reason 'hundreds of thousands choose to move to the UK ' is our benefits system and the NHS. Elite sports people come for the money, and good luck to them.

For our benefits system and the NHS? Try

Enjoy it less yes. And when you have the choice to have the same means somewhere else and enjoy it more, then why wouldn't you?

He's won everything with us bar the champions League and once you've done that I can see why foreign players want to move on for a new challenge. I'm born and bred in Manchester but even I can't think of much that would sell it as an attractive place to live lol.

Yep.

I think he and his agent are smart.. they know he's turning 28 and his next contract will be his last big payday for both of them. So they're non committal in public.. trying to make City nervous into giving him a huge money & long duration extension now.

But the current City contract has 3 more years (2025) but he'd be turning 31 then. He could go the current trend towards leaving on a free and get a huge signing bonus but that's the problem Mane and Salah are having. 30-31 and looking for a big money long term extension with the best years probably behind them.

City did give KDB a long and upgraded contract though so something similar may happen here. Or maybe McAtee is loaned out for 2 years of Bernardo's remaining time here and then integrated in Bernardo's final year.

Either way no reason to be nervous City fans. City hold all the cards here.

Yeah that's actually a very good point tbh..Considering that for Bernie this contract is going to be the one where he would expect a very big pay, how are Barca going to do that? They have wage problem which is making them sell De Jong.

Barca are a much worse team than us (so he is downgrading a lot). Taking this into account as well Bernie will demand a huge wage, which may not be affordable for Barca.

Not only that with 3 years left on his contract we can demand a lot for him.

They paid 145 mil for Coutinho and Bernie is a much better player. We can and should easily value him at 200 mil and if anyone doubts that.. just list him as the midfielder who won 4 out of 5 PL titles.

So not really worried about Barca. But Real are another story.. they might want to replace Modric eventually but they also just paid 100 mil for Tchoumeni and last year got Camavinga.

Barcelona probably think they can get him for the fee we said last summer was it 40m or something?

We should play hard ball set it at 120m only problem I see is Silva desperately wants to go and we promised him a move for a certain fee.
