On the one hand, Bernardo Silva's latest transfer admission may send alarm bells ringing around the Etihad Stadium.
After asking to leave Manchester City last summer, Bernardo indicated that he is open to a 'new project' elsewhere before he gets too old, adding that he still dreams of returning to Benfica, preferably before he turns 32.
But Bernardo has two more years on his City contract, and by his own admission would command too high a fee for Benfica - or many other potential buyers - to afford. "It depends on what happens next summer," he summarised.
