Bernardo Silva

[Vester]

LESS than €80m (£67m)?
Lets just say, I'm not happy with how the club has handled this. The fee is an absolute joke and I'm finding it hard to understand the logic in why we didnt set a deadline on this before the season started, and why we are selling a key player in our squad for half his value when the season is already started. We should have told him in May that if you want to leave this summer we want at least £85m (which is lower than what you are worth to us) and you have until August 1, before the season starts, to sort a deal out. That would have been more than fair, without putting the club in a terrible position. I love Bernardo, but the club always comes first and if he wanted out he should have sorted out a deal well before the season started. Just like Sterling, Jesus & Zinchenko did.

If this is true, we could actually manage to sign the Norwegian beast Erling Haaland and still weaken our team in the same window. Not sure what the clubs plan is here, or why we would allow Barca to f*ck up our planning this season. If they wanted him they should have sorted it out a month ago instead of signing every other player available in Europe first. If we let Bernardo leave now when the season has already started, it has been handled in such a bad way thats so uncharacteristic from how we usually handle our transfer business. I have not seen this poor transfer planning from the club in over a decade, so dont really know what to expect.

It almost feels so absurd we would agree to this and let Barca just come in whenever they please so late in the window, that I find it hard to believe it could be true.

That Romero post is having the desired effect of winding up City fans.

May or may not have substance.

If true it will undo our cultivated image of being hard players in the transfer market. There’s a big difference between not standing in a player‘s way and bending over sans lube.

It's not for other clubs. How much is FDJ going to cost ? Bellingham ? Even Cucurella went for 55m + add-ons. I felt Zinchenko was a good deal for Arsenal. Bernardo is a 100m player, if Barca get him for 30m less, then it's the signing of the summer (excluding Haaland of course).

All of these deals are PL sides buying.

There is no money elsewhere, bar PSG and Real Madrid.

It looks as though it's more about how much we will get for Bernardo rather than if he will go or not. Also as others have said, we may have agreed a fee with Bernardo last year, give us another year and if said figure is met you can go.

That’s the only reason I can think of why the fee is so low!

Gerard Romero did say De Jong to United was 95% done. I'm not believing anything until the club brief our journalists.

Maybe Bernie isn't as smart as we all thought he was.

He is just as smart as Harry Kane, which mean your average footballer.

 

[Mancity0303]

If we sell for anything less than €100m its SHIT business. 3 years left on his deal, insanely good player and the season has already started. Don't give a shit if he wants to go

 

[Rammy Blue]

One thing is for sure, if we are to sanction his departure then I fucking hope we make them wait until we’ve signed the replacement this time.

Guy talks absolute nonsense, about as reliable as Indy Kalia & just a mouthpiece for Barca.

Surely we're all wise to this by now??

Romero has openly lied all transfer window yet still some believe everything he says.

IF he gets Bernardo news right eventually, he’d have guessed it correctly.
