Bernardo staying at City
MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Bernardo Silva will be staying at Manchester City, manager Pep Guardiola said yesterday, seemingly bringing to an end a summer of uncertainty over the Portugal midfielder’s future.
Silva has been heavily linked with a move to Barcelona, with Guardiola saying this week that the player “likes Barcelona a lot” and previously saying he doesn’t want to keep players at City if they are unhappy.
However, with less than a week left in the summer window transfer, Guardiola said Silva will not be leaving.
“We don’t have any phone call from any club regarding Bernardo Silva,” Guardiola said, responding to a question about a reported bid for Silva from Paris Saint-Germain, “so that’s why he’ll stay. He will stay.”
