The head coach of the local team knew that he was waiting for the end of the captain’s career at Etihad, when he told his assistant about his possible exit for this summer.

Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola has expressed the hope that team captain Bernardo Silva will remain at the club until the end of his career. Proceeding from the remaining decision to remain with the 31-river Portuguese carrier, whose current contract reaches its end at the end of the production season.

The situation around the upcoming Silvi became the main topic of discussion last year. After a decisive victory over Liverpool (4:0) in the FA Cup quarter-finals, City's assistant head coach Pep Lijnders, who replaced the suspended Guardiola at the hour of the press, directly faced the inevitable farewell.

Despite such categorical statements from the deputy, Guardiola himself stressed that he still hopes to save the leader, even Bernard, without yet voicing his final decision. Spanish fahivets navіt zhartoma skarzhivsya on those that gravets trims yogo in the unknown.

\! A month ago, I told him: “If you make a decision, I can find out about the first thing.”. “But I have nothing and no evidence,” says Guardiola. “I said to him: “Tell me, I deserve it,” he said, and I still don’t know what’s going on.”.

The press is already actively linking Silva with the transition to the leader of the Spanish La Liga Barcelona, \u200b\u200bItalian Juventus or MLS clubs.

Unrespectful at all, Guardiola did not waste warm words on the address of his captain, praising his uniqueness:.

I know the nine fates - just like that, as the training robot draws. All managers would say how much they love him, because he is so competitive, his fire will always burn. At the most important moments and on the biggest scenes, we will always entrust.

It has become an incredible accessory for us. I love this club and would be happy if I lost it and ended my career here. Ale I don't know. This is inclusive of your decision,” summed up Kermanic Siti.

Let's remember that Bernard joined Manchester City from Monaco in 2017. Last month, in the final of the English League Cup against Arsenal, he played his 450th match for the locals. And last summer, after the departure of Kevin De Bruyne, he himself took off the captain's armband.
