Bernardo Silva

Didn’t they offer something stupid like €45m though as well?

Didn’t it (reportedly) involve Neymar too? A double-no from our owners it would seem.

Swap him for Frenkie and get it over with already .

I don’t see any problem with this response - he’s honest as always, and it’s no secret to any of us that for personal reasons he’d like to play in Spain at some point, but he’s respectful and committed whilst he’s with us.

Personally I think it’s probably time to grant him his wish this summer, and with Gundo likely to leave as well, use this as an opportunity to refresh our midfield.

Arguably we’re a touch predictable this season, and other teams have worked us out.

If we do go ahead with deals for Bellingham and Perrone, for example, this would give us a very different approach for next season - with a lot more energy at the core of the team.

He just wants to retire with his boyhood club. One more contract here then benfica awaits Bernie you know it's right!

Bored of constantly hearing he talk about leaving.

Don’t care how good you are, I’m not interested in players who don’t want to be at Manchester City.

Reading the quotes looks like he will see out his contract and leave on a free..

He wants to leave ASAP so he can fit in another club before returning to Benfica at 32/33.
