I’ll Love To Return To Benfica Someday – Bernardo Silva

Manchester City midfielder, Bernardo Silva has come out to say that he is desperate to return to Benfica someday. He, however, revealed that he cannot make the move until his MCFC contract expires, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he has never hidden the fact that he would love to return to Benfica someday, so he’ll wait and see what the future holds.

Bernardo added that he cannot keep commenting on his future to the press because he has said everything that needs to be said.

His words, “I’ve never hidden that one day I want to go back, so of course I do. Now, we’ll see over time what’s possible and it’s not worth talking about this all the time, because people get tired… Let’s see.”

“You can, now there are contractual issues that have to be respected and… you have to live the reality, that Portuguese football at a financial level cannot compete with English, Spanish or even German and French clubs, therefore… For example, even if I I wanted to go to Benfica at the moment it was totally impossible because Manchester City is asking for a lot of money for a transfer for me. In the last four or five years I have been a player valued at over 50 million euros and it is impossible for a Portuguese club to pay that kind of value. People have to be a little realistic.”
