A Man City star is seriously considering a return to his old club in the next summer transfer window, according to a sensational report.
The Pep Guardiola team was the shadow of their usual dominant self this season, because they are at risk of missing the qualification in the Champions League for the first time in the Eight Years’ Mandate of Spanish at Etihad.
The last to call him leaves his time on the blue side of Manchester was Kevin de Bruyne, the Belgian announcing the end of his decade fate in City last week.
And now, the door is supposed to be open so that Bernardo Silva returns to Benfica at the end of the season, according to the Portuguese point of sale a bola.
The 30 -year -old has already been subjected to a meeting in his childhood club, but it is supposed to be plans when the sun goes to his career.
The £ 300,000 contract per week from Silva to City expires at the end of next season, but we think it is ready to take a salary reduction in Benfica.
Bernardo Silva could make a return shock to Benfica in summer, according to a report
It is thought that the Man City star is willing to make a salary reduction on his salary of £ 300,000 per week
The Pep Guardiola team seemed a shadow this season, and he previously declared that his aging team could not meet the intense requirements of their busy schedule
There is also an optimism on the club side that the agreement could conclude, because Benfica is Silva’s favorite destination if he had to leave the city.
Another option for the Portuguese midfielder is Barcelona, but a visit to the Catalan club is considered a much less likely result.
These reports occur a week after Bruyne, 33, announced that he would leave City in summer, and six weeks after Guardiola conceded that his aging side could not hack the intensity of their current schedule.
“We have to sit down with doctors, players, agents and be clear that some of them cannot support every three days,” Guardiola said after their defeat against Real Madrid during the 16 playoffs in February.
“It’s reality. Many players cannot support what we have done in the past every week, week. Play in different competitions, travel without problems. Where is my concern to me? Just that.
“It’s so much, so demanding – the teams are faster, faster, stronger and we cannot manage it for the moment.”
Silva has made 396 appearances for City since its participation in 2017, totaling 140 contributions to objectives at that time – 69 goals and 71 assists.
He was of course part of their historic team awarded in 2023 and won 17 trophies at the club, including six Premier League titles.
