“Man City” team managers will try to maintain attacking midfielder Bernardo Silva in their squad for an even longer period. The “Daily Mail” reports that the “citizens” are offering the player a new contract. It is reported that the 28-year-old Portuguese, who currently earns a weekly wage of 300 thousand pounds sterling, would double his salary. This summer, B. Silva was heavily courted by Barcelona, but the Catalans ultimately failed to come up with the large transfer fee of at least 85 million euros. The athlete's current contract with the English club will remain valid for another three years.
