Bernardo Silva chooses his club in the future, a low blow to Pep Guardiola

For Manchester City, Bernardo Silva is one of the club's great footballers and they count on him to be a fundamental piece in the team. However, things have not always gone the right way. Given this situation, the club has positioned itself in an important way and is paid a significant sum each season. However, the player has surprised everyone with the most recent statements.

In a conversation with CNN Portugal, Bernardo Silva spoke about the club where he wants to play in his next years. "I want to return to Benfica [in the future]. If the club wants me at the time, obviously things will happen...", Silva confessed. "Hearing [Pep] Guardiola say the things he says is a source of pride and I can say that, even outside of football, I have a very special relationship with him...".

"I thought that Benfica could have kept me in a different way. It is not a criticism only of Luis Filipe Vieira, but of a group of four or five people who would have seen things differently. I want to return to Benfica. If at the time "The club loves me, things will happen. I would be incapable of playing for Porto or Sporting. That's not going to happen," he asserted.

Portugal's goal for EURO 2024

Bernardo also wanted to talk about his future with the Portuguese team, with a clear objective pending in his career. "One of the failures of my career is that I never managed to help Portugal in a European or a World Cup to go a little further. Without a doubt we will play to win in 2024, there is an enormous responsibility for this generation to be successful." For many , this could be Cristiano Ronaldo's last great opportunity to achieve a new title with his country's team.
