The rapturous cheers and the emotional appreciation couldn't have been more telling, Manchester City fans are desperate for Bernardo Silva to stay.
Is it any wonder? Bernardo is a remarkable player. All the skill, technical guile and wonderment in his play but equally matched by his boundless energy and selfless work.
He is the perfect all-action midfielder, capable of playing pretty much anywhere, of scoring goals, of making them, of running teams ragged and dictating tempo.
The engine and the Rolls Royce in one. But, for reasons outside of football, he wants to leave the club. It's been the case for a while now, last summer he was keen on a move to Spain to be closer to his native Portugal.
