Bernardo Silva🚨 LEAVING Manchester City?!!!!

Not getting any younger at 30 years old!!
Whatever he wants, I am fine with!! Hopefully he stays!!

In my opinion, from a career perspective Bernardo Silva leaving Manchester City for Barcelona is a massive downgrade. For many years, he has been linked with a move away from Manchester City and every summer, there’s this feeling that he’ll leave once and for all and he always stays. Last summer they managed to renew his contract and he still might leave this summer as he’s interested in joining Barcelona, PSG also want him and the rumors about a player being linked to Saudi Arabia or just never goes away because of the money and they tempt players to go there. Manchester City don’t force players to stay if they don’t want to be at the club anymore, similar with other players they’ve left City he’ll find out that the grass isn’t greener on the other side outside of Manchester City and Pep Guardiola.

Barcelona are a big club historically and you can’t turn them or Real Madrid down when they come calling for you, but right now Barca aren’t an elite club. He’s in his prime he’s playing on the best team in the world, they won a treble 12 months ago, they could win 2 more trophies in 2 weeks, they could win their 4th straight league title. When you’ve won everything there is to win, ok the move to Barcelona makes sense, for him if he better off staying at Manchester City or going to Barcelona. Ilkay Gundogan for example in a span of 12 months went from winning a treble to going trophy less and he’s been moaning about the lack of a winning desire and mentality at Barcelona. He’s been good individually, but again won the treble with Manchester City didn’t come close to winning a trophy at Barcelona. They love to take City’s players and let them keep signing old players who are a couple years away from passing their prime. If he stays at Manchester City it’ll be great, if he leaves, a massive blow for them a win for Barcelona and for him because it’s a new challenge for him and in some sense he’s downgrading and should think twice about his future.

Bernardo Silva is one of the most talented players I’ve ever seen grace the premier league. He is the closest player to Lionel Messi when it comes to being technically gifted whenever he has the ball at his feet. From watching him he’s a sublime footballer, because he’s so good at getting out of tight spaces he’s capable of dribbling past 3-4 players and he does it with ease he can also create make very good passes he has some goals here and there and he’s also responsible for doing the dirty work. This is a rare combination in a player being such a creative and technical player and he’s not afraid of putting in a shift on defense. One of the things that makes him a special player is the fact that his stats aren’t gonna be the craziest, you don’t expect him to dominate the stat sheet, but off the eye test, he’s such a well rounded player and he often goes under the radar mainly because of the “stat driven culture” of modern football where players are judged by how many goals and assists. What he brings on the field is much more than his output and sometimes that area of a player’s ability can be ignored because we obsess over stats nothing else. This is why Pep Guardiola values him so highly. At Manchester City he’s more irreplaceable to that team than Rodri is in my opinion because there’s no like for like replacement for him in that CDM role, you look at Bernardo he plays as a CAM and a winger at times, he’s playing in almost every position on the field and finding a replacement for him will be difficult even if you sign Lucas Paqueta or another elite midfielder.

His talent was already evident even before his move to Manchester City. He was part of a Monaco team that won Ligue 1 and reached the Champions League semifinals. At Manchester City under Pep Guardiola he has elevated his game to another level and has been one of the best players in the world in the last couple of years even if he’s a little underrated. He went from an out and out winger to a world class midfielder and it tells you Pep’s ability to get the best out of his players as this is a guy who’s not tall he’s always had that technical ability which is why they converted him into an attacking midfielder. He was basically a David Silva replacement and if made since his style is so reminiscent to his. He has been a regular starter on a team that’s won 5 out of the last 6 league titles and the guy was never a passenger in Manchester City’s success he is very consistent is always an 8/10 every week and he just goes about his business on the field even if he doesn’t get the same headlines as Erling Haaland Kevin De Bruyne and Rodri. In this day and age a player needs PR and media hype and Bernardo is a player where you can appreciate his value if you actually watch the games. Because Manchester City is such a star studded team, they’re so good to the point where almost every good player on that team is underrated and don’t get talked about enough. He is a “big game merchant” one of the very few players who delivers in high profile games and that’s an important skill and part of why he’s world class because he actually shows up in big games and he doesn’t ghost unlike certain players. He has helped them win trophies and that cannot be denied as he has chipped in with important goals and assists. If he leaves Manchester City eventually, they have their work cut in trying to replace him because Bernardo Silva is too good and he’s one of the best players to have ever played in the premier league.

How the f are we gonna replace him
He played a big part last season when we won the treble

We are not a parasitic club. For whatever he has done for us we will always remain grateful. 20 years from now he wont be remembered as a Benfica legend, a PSG legend or a Barca legend. He will be remembered by the football world as a Man City legend.

I think its time for Oscar Bobb to shine. I truly hope Pep will go for him now. He is not to young at all.

The only way I think Bernardo leaves is if there’s a potential swap deal involved like for example, Barcelona dejong to city Bernardo to Barcelona Or PSG potentially because Walker is getting older Should PSG want him we should ask for hakimi as part of the deal

Musiala could replace bernardo silva

barca has injury concerns with gavi pedri balde and they will likely sell two of De jong Raphina Ferran and Fati to make up funds and reduce wages 50 mil for silva is a steal in barcas eyes since he can play all over their mid field as well as start at RW in front of yamal since he is quite young and cant play every single game it makes sense why they would want him and he might want a change of location after winning at city so much but obv the club and the fans would want him to stay but hard to say no to Barca or Madrid with city prob seeing Paqueta as the replacment hope a combo of Bobb Doku and Savio can make up those lost min if barca can cough up the cash and silva decides to leave
