The Portuguese international could make a comeback on his native lands in the more or less close future.
Bernardo Silva approaches slowly but surely at the end of his adventure in Manchester City. Arrived in the Eastlands from AS Monaco in the summer of 2017, the Portuguese attacking midfielder sees his lease coming to an end next June.
The big question therefore remains to know where the number 20 of the Skyblues will evolve after this deadline. And his future may well depend on the result of the presidential election at SL Benfica. João Noronha Lopes, candidate for the succession of Rui Costa, confirmed that a return of Bernardo Silva in his training club was one of his projects.
A strong electoral promise
“Yes, I can confirm that Bernardo Silva has an ongoing contract. And I can't wait to recruit him in January. He embodies everything I am looking for in Benfica: the identity, the culture of victory, and he is a great supporter of Benfica. And I assure you that we will not stop there ”he said in the columns of Record.
