Star of Manchester City with whom he won the Champions League, Bernardo Silva (29 years old) continues to shine with the English team. This season, he is still valuable with 22 matches played for 5 goals and 3 goals. In an interview for In Bola, the one who is under contract until June 2026 returned to the recurring rumors sending him to his training club Benfica. He explained in particular that it would be complicated in the short term to see him with the Aguias.
“There are contractual issues that must be respected and… you have to live the reality, that Portuguese football on a financial level cannot compete with English, Spanish or even German and French clubs. For example, even if I wanted to go to Benfica at the moment, it would be completely impossible because Manchester City would ask for a lot of money for a transfer. In the last four or five years I have been a player valued at over 50 million euros and it is impossible for a Portuguese club to pay such a value. People need to be a little realistic.” he blurted. However, he remains open to a return to Benfica at the end of his contract: “it would have to be. I think so, of course yes.”
