According to a report by ESPN Brazilian Portuguese football reporter Bruno Andrade, it is reported that Bernardo Silva, who is about to leave Manchester City at the end of this season, has begun planning where he will go next. The 31-year-old Portuguese midfielder has attracted the attention of Barcelona and Arsenal. However, the prospects of the two are very obviously different. Among them, Barcelona is more in line with players' current expectations for sports, but the Gunners are seen as a more distant choice due to their competitive relationship with Manchester City in the Premier League in recent years.
At the end of this season, Seat B will bid farewell to Manchester City, where he has been playing for nine years. He confirmed the decision by issuing an open letter on social media. Guardiola's assistant coach Lijnders had revealed the news in advance, and the club later officially announced the departure. Since joining in 2017, Seat B has played 452 games for Manchester City and won 19 trophies. Before leaving the team, there is still an opportunity to compete with the team to compete for the Premier League and FA Cup championships and continue to add honors.
Barcelona becomes first choice, Arsenal has slim chance
Barcelona is seen as a more suitable choice for Seat B at the current stage. The team is about to win the La Liga championship and plans to play a starring role in the Champions League next season. Although Arsenal is paying attention to player developments, given the fierce competition with Manchester City in the Premier League in recent years, the possibility of this transaction is judged to be relatively low. Seat B has made it clear that at this stage, he has no intention of going to the Middle East to make money, and his priority is to stay in European football and play for a team that can always maintain a high competitive level.
Make a decision after the World Cup
However, Seat B is in no rush to finalize the future. He made a plan to participate in the World Cup this summer, and then calmly decide the next direction of his career. Speaking of his desire to return to his home team Benfica, Seat B, as an open fan and member of the Portuguese Super League club, has been put aside for now. It is his personal inner wish to end his career in Lisbon, but this is a long-term plan and will not be achieved in this summer's transfer window.
