"Benfica" club academy graduate and national forward Bernardo Silva managed to play only three games in the main team before moving to "Monaco". Currently successfully playing for "Manchester City", the 25-year-old Portuguese revealed that he would like to return to his first club as his career nears its end. "I can say that I am definitely not thinking about returning to Portugal in the near future, as I am now in an amazing club. I am enjoying my career and do not want to return to my homeland too early, but I also do not want to wait too long until I am too old. I would like to return when I am in good physical condition. I can explain why I want to return to "Benfica". I am a fan of this team and used to attend every match with my father, so I always dreamed of playing for that club. I grew up in the "Benfica" academy, played for the second team, but the coach did not believe that I could make it to the main team. I was very disappointed when I had to leave for "Monaco". There is emptiness left in my heart because I could not break into the main "Benfica" team. I have to fill this emptiness. Obviously, it will not happen now, but if "Benfica" wants me in the future, then I will want to return to this team," B. Silva told "Bleacher Report".
