Bernardo Silva: The Link Between Players and Pep
Manchester City’s squad has found an unofficial way to get what they want – they’ve got Bernardo Silva to do their dirty work! According to Kyle Walker, the Citizens’ captain, when the squad wants a day off or a favour, they don’t approach Pep Guardiola directly. Instead, they ask Bernardo Silva, known for his excellent relationship with the manager.
Silva, 28, has been an integral part of City’s setup since joining in 2017 and has won six Premier League titles during his time. But what makes him so special, you ask? Well, aside from his incredible skills on the pitch, Silva is considered a “gem” of a player, loved by both his teammates and the management. He’s part of City’s leadership group, along with Walker, Kevin De Bruyne, Ruben Dias, and Rodri – essentially making him one of five captains in disguise.
But what happens when links to Barcelona crop up again? Silva did sign a new contract until 2026, but the speculations continue, with whispers of a £50 million release clause. During Euro 2024, Guardiola himself confirmed there had been no contact from Barca regarding the player. “I hope he stays (at Manchester City),” said the manager at the Legends charity golf tournament. “If you want a player, you have to call him, and it hasn’t happened.” But will City’s management be flexible if another offer comes in?
