Bernardo Silva Linked with Move to Saudi Pro League: Fans React
Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva has been linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League, leaving fans fuming. The Portuguese attacker has reportedly been offered a lucrative deal to move to the Middle East, with his agent Jorge Mendes in talks over the move. Silva, who has been tipped for an exit from the Etihad Stadium this summer, would join a list of European stars who have made the move to the Saudi Pro League, including Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema.
Silva’s Potential Move
The news of Silva’s potential move has left fans raging, with many claiming that it is “ruining” football. Fans have taken to social media to express their anger, with one tweeting, “Saudi Arabia is ruining football.” Another wrote, “I speak for everyone when I say Saudi needs stopped.” A third said, “If Bernardo Silva leaves, then I’ll be forced to report Saudi Arabia to Fifa via mail. I can’t watch all these happen in front of my eyes.” While a fourth added, “Bernardo Silva to Saudi???? They need to stop this.”
Silva’s Contract and Interest from Other Clubs
Silva’s contract at City expires in 2025 and has been wanted by Barcelona for the last two summer windows. However, he would join a list of players that have turned down the opportunity, including Lionel Messi and Luka Modric. It is likely that City would demand a big transfer fee for one of their most important players over the last few seasons. However, the report does add that the Portuguese attacker is likely to reject the move, with PSG and Barcelona also interested in his services.
Silva’s Performance at City
Silva made 55 appearances last season for Pep Guardiola’s side and popped up with seven goals and eight assists. He has been one of City’s most important players over the last few seasons, helping them to win the treble in the 2018-19 season. Silva’s potential move to Saudi Arabia would be a big loss for City, who are already facing a tough summer transfer window with the departure of Sergio Aguero.
Other Players Linked with a Move to Saudi Pro League
Silva is not the only player to be linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League. Al Hilal is close to signing Wolves captain Ruben Neves for £47million. N’Golo Kante, Hakim Ziyech, Wilfried Zaha, Sergio Ramos, Marco Veratti, and Roberto Firmino are among the players to have been offered massive contracts to make the switch away from Europe.
