Pep Guardiola has admitted that he hopes one of his players stays at Manchester City next season.
If Pep Guardiola does leave in 2025, he would hope for the core of his squad to stay put for his final season at City.
However, certain players at the club might be looking to depart the Etihad Stadium regardless of Guardiola’s future.
Guardiola says he hopes 29-year-old stays at Man City next season
For instance, it was reported by Fabrizio Romano last month that Ederson could leave the English giants if he receives a “good proposal.”
On Sunday, it was even stated that Al-Nassr were ready to hold talks with the Brazilian to get a move over the line for him.
But now, Pep Guardiola has made it clear that he wishes for Bernardo Silva to stay at Manchester City next season.
Guardiola said via journalist Victor Navarro: “There are many rumours in the press on Bernardo but no one has called us so far”.
“We’ve received no calls from Barça or any other club”.
“He’s a wonderful player, I hope he’s gonna stay with us at Manchester City”.
Bernardo Silva recently dropped hint about Man City future
So far, it seems like Bernardo Silva is not edging towards exiting the Etihad Stadium — with Pep Guardiola claiming that no club have contacted Manchester City about signing him this summer.
While there is a degree of uncertainty surrounding the £43 million man’s future, in our view, he recently provided a hint that he could be considering staying at City.
On international duty, Bernardo Silva admitted that he would like for Joao Neves, as a fellow Portuguese player to play alongside him at Manchester City.
For Bernardo to make such a claim could indicate that his heart might be set on continuing his seven-year spell at the club.
If an offer does come through the door from a top club, one will await to discover if the 29-year-old fancies a change of scenery.
But based on Bernardo Silva’s quotes, he might have hinted that his future lies in East Manchester.
