Despite begging Him in training to snub Real Madrid offer for City,He still went ahead to accept their offer’: Man city Star Bernardo silva confirmed His £80m international teammate have agreed personal terms to join Real Madrid over City after Euro
In a surprising turn of events, Manchester City star Bernardo Silva has confirmed that his £80m international teammate has agreed to join Real Madrid, despite pleas from City players and staff to stay. The announcement came during a press conference where Silva expressed his disappointment but also his understanding of his teammate’s decision.
The speculation around the transfer began months ago, with Real Madrid showing keen interest in the highly-rated player. The star in question, who has been a significant figure for his national team and a key player for his club, was reportedly torn between staying at Manchester City and moving to the Spanish giants.
During the press conference, Silva revealed the internal efforts to persuade his teammate to remain with Manchester City. “We’ve been begging him in training, trying to convince him to snub the Real Madrid offer,” Silva said. “We know how important he is to our squad and what he brings to the table every match. But in the end, he had to make the decision that he felt was right for his career.”
Silva added that while the team is disappointed to see him go, they understand the allure of a club like Real Madrid. “It’s always a difficult decision when it comes to moves like this. Real Madrid is one of the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to play there is a dream for many.”
The player, whose identity has been kept under wraps until the official announcement, is said to have agreed on personal terms with Real Madrid. The deal is valued at around £80 million, a substantial sum reflecting his talent and potential impact on the field.
This transfer is a significant blow to Manchester City, as they lose a crucial player who has been instrumental in their recent successes. The club will now be looking to fill the gap left by his departure, which could involve entering the transfer market for a suitable replacement.
City manager Pep Guardiola will have to reassess his strategy and squad depth as they prepare for the upcoming season. The loss of such a key player is never easy, but Guardiola’s experience and tactical acumen will be crucial in navigating this challenge.
For the player, the move to Real Madrid represents a new chapter and an exciting opportunity to compete in La Liga and the Champions League. Real Madrid fans will be eagerly anticipating his arrival and the impact he will have on their squad.
Bernardo Silva concluded the press conference with a message of support for his departing teammate. “We wish him all the best at Real Madrid. He will always be a part of the City family, and we look forward to seeing him succeed on this new journey.”
As the transfer window continues, this move will undoubtedly be one of the most talked-about transfers of the summer, marking a significant shift in the landscape of European football.
