At all means, Manchester City wants to keep Bernardo Silva from leaving. For Guardiola's team, the time is now or never. The Portuguese star, who received a highly alluring offer last week, is being pursued by Saudi Arabia. The Etihad club has made a final offer in an attempt to keep him from leaving.
In an effort to persuade him, City, who cannot equal the 85 million euros given in Saudi football, have offered him a new, improved offering. The Times claims that this offer might be an ultimatum made to the player by Guardiola's team.
Bernardo Silva has a deal with City that runs until 2025, and there is every reason to think that they would prefer to extend it than sell him for a high transfer price. He is one of Guardiola's most effective tools, as he demonstrated by helping the squad win the unprecedented triple last year. In the 38 Premier League games played last year, he made 24 starts.
Additionally, he played an exceptional role in the Champions League, scoring against Bayern Munich and Real Madrid in the quarterfinal and semifinal matches. He is a special player, said Guardiola: "Some players occasionally take a step backwards, but he takes a stride ahead. He is indispensable to us in many ways, he said at the end of the campaign.
He should not be released by City; that would be a grave error. Kovacic's addition can partially offset Gündogan's loss, but Bernardo Silva has a special and valuable skill set. The 'Cityzens' must make every effort to keep him for the benefit of the Premier League and European football.
A quick good-bye?
At the age of 28, Bernardo Silva is in the "apex" of his career. In Saudi Arabia, he would disappear from view during his prime footballing years. At the age of 26, Rben Neves made the switch from the Premier League to Al-Hilal, and his City teammate could follow suit.
Bernardo still has time to decide whether to extend his deal with Manchester City or accept the alluring Saudi Arabian football offer. Both Guardiola and City supporters would be ecstatic with his consistency. It's everything in his hands.
