Bernardo Silva

I can’t get my head around a player of Bernardo Silva’s quality only commanding an £68m transfer fee. Baffling, utterly baffling!

United spent £82m on Antony.

If we don't wish to sell to another PL team (and presumably he wouldn't want to stay in England anyway), there are very few teams left to sell to that could afford more than that plus his wages. Maybe PSG and Real Madrid would be the only ones and perhaps they don't need a player in his position at present.

i dont think he`ll go thank god as the only club that could actually afford him would be PSG? Such a shame Mbappe doesnt want to come here as we could have done something with both swapping clubs etc.

Unless Barca start off loading major talents - and there is no sign of that they simply are in no position to pay fees for any players this summer. Almost impossible for them to sign Bernie.

How about a player of Alvarez's quality only commanding an £14m fee but Chelsea spending 88m on Mudryk.
Football transfers are like nothing else in the world.

I have a mixed feeling. On the one hand, I feel sorry for Bernie if we more or less force him to stay while he still wants to leave and on the other, can't help feeling relieved. Still I wonder if the club would let him go if there is a decent offer coming for him this summer.

I don't feel sorry for him at all. Bernardo signed a contract. We are within our rights to hold him to that contract.

Unless theres a clause stating he can leave when he wants or else he has to fulfill his contract obligation. Don’t think city is a hostage fc in anyway like the fax machine rags.

I guess it depends what’s been said informally when he’s asked to leave previously. Rumour was last year we said knuckle down for this season and we will let you go next summer… of course that’s on the premise of a “reasonable” offer being made. I wouldn’t want us to go all Daniel Levy and have gentleman’s agreements with players and then not honour them.
