Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report that claims Bernardo Silva is to be offered a massive new deal to persuade the star to commit to the club long-term.
The Portuguese midfielder, who still has three years left on his current £150,000-a-week contract with the English champions, has been linked with a move to Barcelona during the transfer window.
Throughout this summer there has been constant speculation surrounding Silva’s future – with Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain chasing his services.
Even though we are just Ten days away from the end of the ongoing summer transfer window, Barcelona have not given up their hopes of signing Bernardo Silva but that looks unlikely now, according to the latest reports.
According to the Daily Star, Bernardo Silva is to be offered a massive new deal by Manchester City to persuade the star to commit to the club long-term.
As per the report, Pep Guardiola sees Bernardo as a vital cog within his squad and has told the club to reward that importance with a bumper, double-his-money extension.
Man City fans will no doubt be happy Silva is staying after the amount of upheaval this season, as Silva is undoubtedly one of the best midfielders in Europe.
During the 28-year-olds five seasons at the Etihad Stadium, Silva has made 253 appearances, scoring 48 goals and making 50 assists.
The report was shared on Twitter by City Xtra and it attracted plenty of attention from the club’s supporters.
