Manchester City wants to keep Bernardo Silva in the squad despite interest from Barcelona. A €100m offer could change City's decision.
A City team without Bernardo Silva makes no sense at all, given how well he’s played this season.
The Portuguese playmaker was City’s outstanding performer, alongside Kyle Walker, in the Bernabeu debacle and is still only 27 years of age.
De Jong is a good player but he might take time to adapt to English football. Indeed, just looking at the struggles of his Netherlands team-mate Donny van de Beek bears that out.
Pep Guardiola has to find another way of trying to crack City’s quest for Champions League glory. And it has to be one that still has Silva showcasing his superior talents in Manchester.
