Bernardo Silva says that he won’t let transfer speculation distract him from trying to help Manchester City achieve a treble this season.
The Portuguese midfielder has constantly been linked with a move away from the Etihad. While Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain are known admirers, City will not sell the 28-year-old cheaply and boss Pep Guardiola is reluctant to lose a player he has called “unique in the world.” And Bernardo, whose side are second in the Premier League and host Burnley on Saturday in the FA Cup quarter-finals with a last-eight Champions League tie against Bayern Munich to come, told Arab News exclusively: “It’s not the moment to talk about this.
There’s three months left of the season and I’m very focused on Man City.” “Honestly it (the speculation) doesn’t affect me, it doesn’t.
I try to do my best and then what happens happens,” he said. “There’s three months to go and so many big things we can fight for — the Champions League, which we have always wanted to win.
