Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva has expressed his desire to return as soon as possible to Portugal, especially to Benfica, where he began his football career. He wants to find his family there and to find a Lucian life that he misses so much.
While he was crowned champion of England last season with Manchester City, the Portuguese international (64 selections, 8 goals) Bernardo Silva no longer hides his desire to return to the country. Psychologically affected by confinement due to the health crisis that kept him away from his family, he wanted to leave City last summer, without receiving satisfactory offers.
The spleen he suffers from has almost died out since the start of the season, but the former Monaco did not complete his need to return to Portugal in an excerpt from an interview with Channel 11 broadcast Thursday evening. “I will be honest, if I can return to Portugal, to Benfica, in a year or two, I will do so immediately,” wrote the Portuguese media, A Bola.
“Benfica is a big part of my life”
The coach at Benfica once again expressed his love for the club: “It is a big part of my life. I grew up going to watch matches, I played there from 12 to 19 almost half of my life. I was still young when I left and that was a big change, even if it was This move to Monaco is a beautiful chapter in my life.”
The undisputed owner of Pep Guardiola’s squad, Bernardo Silva has scored seven goals and two assists in 28 matches (out of 29 in total) in the Premier League. He is a key architect of the Skyblues leadership position but also of the good run in the Champions League in which they reached the quarter-finals.
