His price will initially seem steep (ala Gvardiol), but the energy and intelligence Neves will bring will be worth every cent. He would do so much work that the players around him, including Rodri, would have even greater freedom to attack.I'm imagining Bernardo on speed. He'd be barely visible.
Why would he leave City for PSG? I just don't see it. It's not a matter of him wanting to leave City. It's a matter of him wanting to go to Spain, preferably Barca. If anyone watched Xavi's press conference this week, he made it abundantly clear that they don't have the financial capacity to pay the 50 million pound release clause. I'm willing to bet that he stays for another year or 2 before going back to Portugal...PSG can?
The thing with Neves is, his such an attacker, work horse, a solid defensive unit, a great ball player. Brilliant and intelligent player. He is all-over the pitch, it is just crazy. I would MISS Bernado if he left, but if we got Neves, I would sleep better.His price will initially seem steep (ala Gvardiol), but the energy and intelligence Neves will bring will be worth every cent.

He might want a change though. Some players are like that.Why would he leave City for PSG? I just don't see it. It's not a matter of him wanting to leave City.

I don't think we'll lose Bernardo and I think we'll add Neves, so you'll be sleeping like Rip van Winkle.The thing we Neves is, his such an attacker, work horse, a solid defensive unit, a great ball player.

I tend to agree. See out his contract and then take the family home in 2026 before the child(ren) start schooling. He'll be 32 then so can probably have a year playing at Benfica before taking over the manager's role. Might as well learn as much from Guardiola in the meantime.Why would he leave City for PSG?

Possible, but just can't see Bernardo wanting to go to PSG at this stage of his career. He's played in Ligue Une already. I think it's Spain, Portugal, or City. I'm not seeing France, Italy, Germany, or even Saudi. Not seeing MLS anytime soon either...JMO.He might want a change though. Some players are like that.
I agree it’s less likely for him to go to PSG, but if that is his only option, he has a choice to make.Possible, but just can't see Bernardo wanting to go to PSG at this stage of his career.
