The fact that the market in most of the major European leagues closes between 31 August and September 1 It does not take away the intensity of the transfers that can occur on the deadline and one of the ones that sounds strong is that of the Portuguese Bernardo Silva to Manchester City.
Bernardo Silva’s hypothetical destination would be FC Barcelona, which would look for a creative player for midfield and Xavi Hernández himself would welcome his incorporation.
Given this, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola stated in the weekly press conference held by the team that he did not know anything about a possible transfer of the midfielder and took the opportunity to praise the style of play that has been essential for his team in this start of the Premier League.
“I have already said it many times , Bernardo is very important to us, there are two days left until the end of the market and then everyone will be focused on what we have to do… (as to whether there will be more transfers) I don’t know, I don’t know what will happen“, Guardiola snapped.
According to the Transfermarkt page, the value of the Portuguese is around $80 million dollars and has a valid contract until 2025 with the English. In addition, in the rumor window, a possible transfer to the Blaugrana club would have a 30 % chance of success.
Bernardo Silva has been transcendental in the first four Premier League games for Manchester City, scoring two goals and providing an assist, commanding the Ciudadanos attack together with the Norwegian Erling Haaland.
