Bernardo Silva signs new contract until 2026

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

It’s just a pay rise for a year

And richly deserved.

 

[Haaland94]

Whether he goes next year or not, as a fan, I am happy. I am sure he is happy, and so is the club. Everyone wins.

On a side note, the interviewer didn't ask him about fatherhood and the new dog, Charles (just John). Otherwise, good interview.

No way. There is some serious talent lost - Gundogan, Mahrez, Laporte, Cancelo

Nothing lasts forever

The fact there is apparently a £50 mil releas clause in the contract kinda dampens my enthusiasm for this tbh. I reckon city knew they couldn’t afford to lose him this summer on top of the other outgoings so this is a compromise between all parties for one more year.

Could do without the nonesense pr videos as well and how much he “loves the club”. It’s obvious if Barca had the cash Bernardo would have left years ago. It’s just a pay rise for a year

Who knows, but IMO that's a fair reading of the situation. We've persuaded him to stay for another year by giving him some more money and an easy exit option next year.

Glad he's signed for another year, but it looks like we'll be doing this dance again in one year time.

Fantastic news,a workhorse of a player,who gets even better in bigger games.

 

[Nascent Blues]

I don't doubt he can do it brilliantly. But, let's be honest - consistency has been a problem for him.

I think it's hard to make a call until he plays in the middle for a decent chunk of games/time, and therefore has the chance to perform to the level against Newcastle consistently.

Now move out to a leafy suburb Bernardo - City living is great, but no doubt the missus will tire of walking past the piss, druggies, winos, vomit, congestion, fighting, sirens, roadworks.

 

[Belgian Flash]

I always liked him as a player (except when he was scoring against Madrid in the Champions), but he seems to be intent on leaving and then changing his mind every summer. Not sure whether hes constantly posturing for salary increases or hes just needy as a person.

Has anyone confirmed when the release clause becomes active? Hopefully not till 2025.
