The future of Bernardo Silva is still in a ‘nebula’. The Portuguese footballer himself, who has a contract until 2025, has been in charge of ‘feeding’ the rumours. At least, he hasn’t cleared them: “I don’t shy away from questions about my future, but the great truth is that I don’t know what will happen.”

“What happens to my future doesn’t even affect me because I’ve been in this situation for almost 3 years. I’m pretty used to it”recognized at the end of last season.
Little or nothing has changed since then. Bernardo Silva continues at Manchester City despite the ‘mermaid songs’ coming from Saudi Arabia and Paris Saint-Germain. Barcelona also remains attentive, ‘in the shadows’, to the outcome of the ‘soap opera’.
The first game of preseason, however, It can be understood as a ‘wake-up call’ for Bernardo Silva to define himself. The former Benfica and Monaco player only played 30′ in the victory over Yokohama Marinos (3-5).
The weird thing is how he played them. Guardiola lined up two different eleven in each half. Only the goalkeeper, Stefan Ortega, played the 90′. Bernardo Silva, that entered in the rest, and his substitute (Maxi Perrone) they were the only ones who did not play a minimum of 45 minutes.
Guardiola withdrew the Portuguese ‘fantasy’ in minute 75′ and, between the two, there seemed to be a ‘good vibe’. Pep even dared to kick him in the ass as he left on his way to the changing rooms to the laughter of the City staff.
The early change of Guardiola feeds the rumors about the possible departure of the Portuguese. However, the City manager offered another explanation in the press room: “I wanted to give ‘Max’ minutes and Bernardo takes shape very quickly.”

Something strange happens with Bernardo. We’ll see what happens…
