Manchester City forward, Bernardo Silva has come out to reveal the reason for snubbing a potential move to Saudi Arabia in the summer in favour of continuing at MCFC. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he definitely considered the big money offers from Saudi Arabia in the summer, but playing in the UCL with MCFC proved more important to him in the end.
Silva added that his recent experience in the UCL that saw City lift the trophy prompted him to stick around.
His words, “I would lie if I said I didn’t think (about the big-money offers from Saudi Arabia). What interested me was the heat of playing a UEFA Champions League semi-final, listening to the (Etihad) stadium going wild after scoring against (Real) Madrid in the semi-finals or when we won the final against Inter. I didn’t want to give up on that.”
WOW.
