Return to his homeland! Bernardo Silva on the verge of joining Benfica
Manchester City is preparing to part ways with Portuguese midfielder Bernardo Silva.
Details: According to A Bola, the 31-year-old midfielder has reached a preliminary agreement with Lisbon's Benfica. The player could join the club as early as this winter or in the summer, when his contract with City expires and he becomes a free agent.
Bernardo Silva is a product of Benfica's academy, but only made a handful of appearances for the Lisbon club's first team. However, at Manchester City, the Portuguese international became a key figure, racking up 410 matches, 72 goals, and 73 assists.
Last season, the Portuguese midfielder played 52 matches across all competitions, recording 6 goals and 5 assists.
For the record: Former Manchester City player Kiki Musampa has been arrested for fraud.
