‘Just keep him’, ‘stop with this loan’ – Fans reacts as Atletico Madrid and Barcelona Consider Loan Moves For Man City Star

Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report that claims Atletico Madrid and Barcelona have ‘expressed an interest’ to sign Bernardo Silva on loan this summer.

Silva has been a superb player for City since joining from Monaco in 2017 but his future is in doubt now after City signed Jack Grealish for £100million.

The Portuguese is prepared to leave the Etihad and the belief is that he would like a move to Spain in order to be closer to his family. He has been been linked with a move to Barcelona, Real Maldrid, Atletico Madrid as well as AC Milan this summer.

According to 90min, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona have both “expressed an interest” in acquiring Bernardo Silva during the final few days of the ongoing transfer window.

The report claims that both clubs would ideally wish to recruit Bernardo Silva on loan with a view to a future transfer, however the Premier League champions “would rather” secure a permanent deal.

In reaction to the report shared on Twitter by City Xtra, many Man City fans have expressed their thoughts and opinions.

Just keep him

Clubs are taking the piss with City. They don't rate our board serious. It's always a loan with an option to buy. If it was Chelsea there is no messing around. They get the money for their players. Abraham for 45 mil without even playing. And this board always get mugged on.
