2021 Manchester City FC Bernardo Silva has broken his silence on his future, which looks to include a move from Manchester City to FC Barcelona. The Portuguese international is Barca first team coach Xavi Hernandez’s last remaining transfer target after landing Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha and Jules Kounde in the current window. Reports on Tuesday claimed that City and the Catalans had reached an agreement for the 27-year-old’s transfer , and in an interview with ESPN published 24 hours later, the midfielder was asked how he views his future.

“I’ve always said that I’m happy here, but I have no idea what’s going to happen,” Silva admitted. “We’ll see, honestly. My relationship with the club is very honest.

I’ve been open with them and they know what I want. “If I stay, I’m very happy, and I will always respect this club and give all my best. If not, it’s football and we’ll just see what happens,” he suggested.

Then reminded that Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus were allowed to leave the Premier PINC League champions in recent weeks, Silva was asked whether he would expect the same treatment from his current employers if he decided it was time to move on as well.

Of course, they are in business and they want the right amount of money for letting us go, but personally it’s a relationship with the club that is very respectful. They have always been honest with me and I have always been honest with them. “As I said, I will always respect my relationship with Man City, with the fans, with the staff, with my teammates, so whatever happens happens and for sure, it will happen in a very respectful way,” Silva concluded.

With three weeks remaining until the window closes, Barca need to act swiftly to secure Silva and also possibly offload Frenkie de Jong. Some reports have claimed that it is president Joan Laporta’s “dream” to have both men in the first team squad for 2022/2023, but Barca and De Jong are currently at loggerheads with one another over the contract extension the Dutchman signed in 2020.
