Bernardo Silva disappoints Barcelona and puts Atlético and Madrid on alert: his controversial statement

Bernardo Silva acknowledges that "Barcelona is an option, but I haven't made a decision," opening the door to other interested clubs such as Atlético and Real Madrid.

RAC 1 reported that Bernardo Silva's words have caused some surprise at Barça, as the Catalan club had a verbal agreement with the Portuguese footballer to sign for two seasons.

A Bola' points out that with these statements Bernardo Silva "opens the door to other interested clubs such as Atlético de Madrid and Real Madrid" .

Isaac Suárez reports in MARCA that Atlético de Madrid continues to prioritize the signing of Bernardo Silva over any other move in the transfer market.

With José Mourinho's arrival at the Real Madrid bench, the possibility of Bernardo Silva joining the Santiago Bernabéu also gains strength.

Urgent? I'm not so sure. Despite this forum's pessimistic view toward Konate, he played 36 league matches for Liverpool this season, averaging 86 minutes, he didn't come here to be a substitute. So are you sure the plan is to relegate Huijsen to the bench?

I know Indy is trash but tell Chelsea to f**** off

 

Probably a direct ask from X Alonso

EDIT: If that is true, that a very good offer which i can see the board looking it over. They could well sell for 100M and bring back Paz for 9ME

 

Crap source and no chance of such a transfer happening. Meanwhile Romano also confirming that Paz wants to stay another season at Como.

🚨 JUST IN: Nico Paz PREFERS to STAY at Como next season.

He LOVES Real Madrid, but he also believes that he can play every match at Como next season and develop, then return to Real Madrid at the RIGHT MOMENT.

Final decision is up to JOSÉ MOURINHO. @FabrizioRomano pic.twitter.com/cIpL3ToX0P

Ramon Alvarez:

José Mourinho's transfer list is: Fran García, Raúl Asencio, Eduardo Camavinga, Dani Ceballos, Rodrygo Goes (unviable) and Gonzalo García.

🚨 JUST IN: There is NERVOUSNESS in Real Madrid’s dressing room.

Some players are CLOSELY following the club’s transfer market to see if it changes their future at the club. @elmundoes pic.twitter.com/4K3cnvWoq1

Putting Rodrygo on a transfer list then adding a "unviable" footnote is comical.

Any ordinary fan probably had the same list since April.

One or more 'big' names will leave imo

 

Doubt any big names are leaving. That usually happens with big money signings like Casemiro for Tcho, Ozil for Bale. No such indications so far unless World Cup opens up a realistic star signing like 2014.

 

Nico Paz seems like a player that is very well advised. Staying at Como for another year is definitely the right move from his perspective. I remain excited for his current ability and his potential, great player.

As for the rumours of players feeling some nervousness: I very much hope so. With the exception of a select few (e.g. Courtois, Arda, Tchou), none of these players deserve to feel even the slightest of comfort as regards their position and status within the team. You can't sabotage the team and expect a lovely treatment, so I hope Mourinho does what he does best. I am and will remain fully behind whatever he decides in terms of some of these players.

It all still feels somewhat strange that Mourinho is back. But, as a result of his return, I now do expect some movements to happen within the squad. And that's a good thing. Let's see what happens.

 

If we allow Vini to walk for free at the age of 26... another election should be called. Either renew or sell this summer.

 

Right

As spastic and unbearable some have become along with the anti's on here; we aren't that far away.

We don't need some big overhaul. We need few key additions and an attitude adjustment.

 

Well if you let the media along with some of these trolls on here tell it Vini isn't worth 50M€ so not that big a loss, eh?

In the end I believe we will get a deal done. I've been wrong many times before but yeah..

 

Really weird that we are allowing the contract to slowly slowly expire without offering an ultimatum like we usually do when big players try to wind down their contracts. I agree with you, either he renews or we move him on this summer.

 

Ramon Alvarez:

Real Madrid are considering signing
Bernardo Silva, at José Mourinho's request.

The matter was discussed at yesterday's meeting, and the club is now giving it more serious consideration.

🚨💣 #RAMÓNÁLVAREZDEMON

El Real Madrid está estudiando el fichaje de Bernardo Silva, porque José Mourinho lo ha pedido.

Se habló en la reunión de ayer y en el club lo están analizando con más cariño.

Journo covering Man Utd reported that RM informed them that Mou intends to keep Tcho. Given Mou's track record at big clubs, don't see Mou moving on from Tcho unless he gets another physical DM. No such links so far.

 

I can't see Tchou and Fede on the same team longterm after what happened.

Anyways, we might rate our midfielders, but they just aren't that as a collective.

 

Not sure what you mean by "allowing the contract to slowly slowly expire" -- it sounds like it has been a constant state of negotiation. And as far as an "ultimatum" -- the rumor has been fairly consistent with Flo staying firm at 30ME/yr IIRC.

 

I've seen Guler as a potential shock big sale a la Ozil for a while now. Would be a similar situation of too many starting-quality "world-class" CAMs.

 

The club should have forced the issue last summer when it had the World Cup leverage.

Perez gave ultimatums to Cristiano and Ramos. Cristiano was sold ~3 years before his last contract ended.

Instead Perez handed Junior the run of the place, and entrusted the situation to Arbeloa's shameless sycophancy in the hope that an extension would magically materialize.

Now, it won't matter if he's frozen out or plays irregularly for the entire season, the club cannot force him to leave. He can happily run down his contract lounging on the bench, collect his paychecks and count down the days until he walks out for free with a signing bonus waiting on the other side.

 

I can't wait for Vini to leave. The sooner the better. I have said it for a long time and I will keep saying it. Mbappe and Vini Jr CANNOT play on the same team and succeed. They refuse to sacrifice for the other, and because Mbappe doesn't trackback, Vini refuses to trackback. I don't see Vini changing, no matter what the coach or even the presi wants.

 

Or we can sit him on the bench. If he's leaving for free why do we care if his value depreciates. PSG did the same with Mbappe before he folded (only to later sue unsuccessfully). I always suspected Florentino forced coaches to play Vini so that his transfer value doesn't crater. Joke was on Flo, Vini did it himself. At this point, sell, renew or sit in the stands.

 

Meanwhile the underperforming English midfielder keeps getting a pass and is never discussed in transfers.
