Bernardo Silva

[Blue-Ghana]

75-80 million would be a go fee for him.

Surely every top level footballer has themself and their family set for life now anyway

Rashford on 375k for example

Not all players are 100% driven by money.

They should take it very serious though. Coz that opportunity only exists for a short while.

Not when they still got a few years left in the tank and a very young family to consider too. Messi didn't move until very late in his career.

I feel like it would be nice to maybe have a girlfriend or wife or at the very least play the field. What kind of social life can a footballer have in SA? If they have a girlfriend or wife can they really expect them to want to move there?

If I was on that money, I wouldn't want the missus anywhere near me.

Messi is Messi.

Still didn't move until very late depsite the temptation.

I would be gutted if Bernie left but doubly so if he wasted his talent & fucked off to Saudi

The world is a small place and if you earning hundreds of thousands a month it's a very small place.

A short trip to Dubai, southern Europe or wherever you desire.

Crazy money and a lifestyle to go with it.

What a waste of talent if he goes to Saudi at his age , he’s never struck me as someone who puts money over his career.

 

[OntarioBlue]

I read this morning that’s he’s “close” to a deal to move to Saudi. Obviously the money being offered to go there is head turning but I can’t see why a player in his prime would want to go to a geriatrics league.

Having said that, if the Saudis were happy to pay £47m for Neves, they will surely come up with £70/80m for Bernie, enough to buy
Declan Rice if we throw PHillips in the deal.

Interesting times.

Yep, i love the guy but will think a lot less of him if he commits career suicide going to Saudi just for the money.

Can't believe people are saying its an opportunity to secure his future financially. What a crock of shit, its pure greed and a total waste of a career if that's what he chooses. I will lose a lot of respect for him when at 28 he has his best playing days ahead of him and he wastes it for money. Poor from Bernardo if true and on the back of everything we've heard for the last 2 summers.

Anyone heard the rumour that a player like Bernardo, at his peak, may be initially signed by a Saudi club.
Then, he will be loaned to another club ?
Guess, which one, to get around FFP rules ?

Loaned to who? I saw that with Neves to Newcastle which if true will absolutely stink.

Barcelona, haha. Corrupt cunts.

 

[Mon Autre]

Would be genuinely shocked if he went to Saudi. Aside from Neves, it's mostly misfits on big money who are on the decline that are moving there. Would be a real shame and disappointing to see one of the best players in the world at his peak move to an exhibition league. Totally understand the appeal for him in moving to another European city in one of the top leagues where he can enjoy another culture and win more top prizes. As a cosmopolitan kind of guy someone who likes to mix it with locals i think it would be a weird move for him to Saudi given the restrictions that locals are expected to live under. And if it's purely about money, it's still weird given they'll still be there chucking massive wages around at players in the arse end of their careers in a couple of years time.

Don't give a fuck whatever trick they are up to. As long as we get paid the full transfer fee upfront. None of this 25% today , 10% next year, 30% in two years and so on.
