Bernardo Silva has confirmed he is staying at Manchester City despite long-standing interest from La Liga giants Barcelona over the course of the summer transfer window.
The Etihad fan-favourite has been the subject of relentless interest from the Catalan titans and at times it has looked as if Silva was readying himself for a Camp Nou switch. However, his most recent comments go some way toward quashing any speculation surrounding his potential exit this window.
“I'm staying in Manchester, here I'm happy and the decision has been made”, the midfielder told Barcelona-based radio station El Barça juga a RAC1. Silva started in City's rampant 6-0 victory over Nottingham Forest on Wednesday night, which saw teammate Erling Haaland bag his second-hat-trick in as many games.
