Manchester City CEO Ferran Soriano has offered a seemingly definitive answer on the future of Bernardo Silva.
Barcelona have been heavily linked with a move for the Portuguese international, in an €80m switch to Catalonia, as part of a squad rebuild taking place at the Camp Nou.
Pep Guardiola has constantly reiterated his determination to keep Silva at the Etihad Stadium with the former AS Monaco star playing a key role for the Premier League champions.
However, rumors have continued to buzz suggesting the Portuguese international could move to the Camp Nou if Barcelona were able to move Frenkie de Jong on, or even, perhaps, if they could get other player sales.
Ferran Soriano has spoken out publicly on the rumors linking Bernardo Silva with a transfer to FC Barcelona. He has offered a short but definitive answer to Spanish press on Monday night.
A reporter asked Soriano as he was making his way to his car: “Does Bernardo stay at City?”
“Of course,” Soriano answered.
