According to Guardiola, he considers Silva a very important asset to the squad, but at the same time, he doesn’t want to hoard anyone’s happiness, even though he earnestly wants Silva to stay in the club, considering his phenomenal skills, Silva is one of the best players he’s worked with. Guardiola further admitted that Silva likes Barcelona.
“He is our player. We want him to be with us because he is very important.”
“Having said that, I don’t want anyone to be unhappy. But I don’t want him to leave because he is a superlative player.
“As a player and as a person, he is one of the best I have ever had. In any competition, he is the best player.
“If an offer arrives there are seven days left and if Bernardo leaves we would have to go to the market and not it’s easy.
“Having said that, Bernardo likes Barcelona a lot.”
When Barcelona’s head coach Xavi was asked about his interest in Silva, he reteriated that it’s impossible not to like Silva, as he’s very great with decision making and extremely protective of the ball, but he further disclosed that everything still depends on Mancity..
“Who doesn’t like Bernardo Silva? Or Haaland or De Bruyne?”said Xavi.
“Silva has great decision-making ability, he protects the ball very well, he’s very good. It depends on City. But now there’s no news.”
