The Bernardo Silva file was a recurring theme in the Paris Saint-Germain transfer windows. The capital club has tried several times to recruit the Portuguese from Manchester City. In vain. And for Pedro Miguel Pauleta, Paris can blame itself. The former Parisian striker revealed, in an amused tone, that he had advised Nasser al-Khelaïfi to recruit his compatriot long before Luis Campos attracted him to AS Monaco.
“There is a player for whom I will not forgive the president of PSG (laughs), because he is a player I have spoken to him about several times. I talked to him about it before he went to Monaco and when he was in Monaco. It’s Bernardo Silva. I attended a women’s national team match in Manchester and Bernardo came to watch the match. I took a picture with him and sent it to the president saying, “How do you not hire him?” And he told me that he no longer wanted to come to PSG. So I told him: “obviously, now he’s at Manchester City”. We were having fun exchanging messages”he declared on the show 90+3In Bola.
