Bernardo Silva is coming out of an extraordinary year with Manchester City, with winning the Champions League as the ultimate Grail. On leaving, the Portuguese is still thinking about what to do next for his career.
Manchester City gleaned a historic treble last season by winning the FA Cup, Premier League and Champions League. A great craftsman of these feats, Bernardo Silva nevertheless wishes to leave the Skyblues. At 28, the former Monaco will not miss proposals. Already, Manchester City does not want to lose him and could offer him a new, more lucrative contract. Then Barça and PSG are also ready to jump at the chance. The capital club has even made it one of its main objectives this summer on the transfer market. But now, for a few months now, a new country has just put its two cents in the transfer window: Saudi Arabia.
Bernardo Silva, the challenged Qatar

The country of the Arabian Peninsula sees things big and is determined to release the millions, even the billions to recruit the best players playing in Europe. Since the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo and that of Karim Benzema, the way is open. According to information from David Ornstein, Bernardo Silva recently received a very lucrative Saudi offer. Discussions are even taking place with Jorge Mendes on the contours of a future contract and salary. The journalist claims the 28-year-old midfielder still favors a move to Europe but is now considering all options. This is a new thorn in the side of PSG during this transfer window. Bernardo Silva, currently in selection, should soon announce his choice. It remains to be seen whether PSG could struggle financially with Saudi Arabia. The ball is in the court of Qatar and Luis Campos.
