Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report that claims Bernardo Silva was reportedly available for £60 million in the summer.
Bernardo Silva’s electrifying season continued on Saturday with two brilliant goal in the 3-1 win away to Watford.
It marks a big turnaround for Silva, who was strongly linked with a move away from the club, as City successfully pursued Jack Grealish and unsuccessfully chased Harry Kane.
In the end, the deal never came to fruition and City are now reaping the rewards of keeping the playmaker.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Bernardo would have left City to join Atletico Madrid in the summer had they matched City’s €70 million (£60 million) valuation of the player.
It’s suggested the La Liga giants were only willing to part with £38.5 million to sign the playmaker and as a result Guardiola was able to keep him at City.
With seven Premier League goals from midfield already this season, City will surely not be as reluctant to do business regarding their no. 20.
Any potential suitors may feel as though they’ve missed the boat massively on one of the world’s best players.
In reaction to the report, Many Man City fans have been sharing their thoughts and opinions.

Good thing he stayed, would’ve went to a system far more stagnated going forward & wouldn’t have played to his strengths. In Pep’s system at the moment he’s absolutely bossing his role & the standout player on City so far this season. https://t.co/wlhsoQTUiH
