Bernardo Silva wants to play for Benfica one day

Bernardo Silva has gone on to become a world-class player after joining Manchester City. He has flourished under Pep Guardiola. The amount of running he provides to the team is unparalleled.

Silva is a Benfica fan from childhood. He used to go to see almost every Benfica match with his dad. He started playing football in the Benfica youth academy. But unfortunately, he just made 3 first-team appearances. The coach thought he wasn’t good enough for the Benfica first-team and he was loaned out to Monaco.

During his time at Monaco, Silva caught the eye of the footballing world. He won the Ligue 1 with Monaco alongside Mbbape, Mendy and Falcao. Manchester City then made the move for the Portugal international. Since Silva’s €50m move from Monaco (which could rise to €70m with add-ons), he has gone on to become better with each passing day.

Bernardo Silva came 9th in the 2019 Ballon d’Or ranking. This clearly shows the significance of him in the Premier League winning Manchester City team. But he hopes to return to Benfica one day.

In an interview with Bleacher Report, Silva said: “I am enjoying my career a lot, I don’t want to go back now but I don’t want to go when I’m too old. I want to go help my team when I am in a good physical condition. I don’t know the exact age – not too old but not now.”

“I’m a Benfica fan. I used to go to all the games with my dad, so my dream was always to play for Benfica. When I was 19 and playing for the second team, I didn’t have the opportunity to play for the first-team because the manager didn’t want me there or think I was able to play for the first-team.

“It was a huge disappointment for me to have to leave, go to Monaco to have a good career. Because I’ve never played for my team, I have this gap in my heart and I need to fill it. Not now obviously, but if they want me there, I definitely want to go back to Benfica one day.”
