Bernardo Silva : the next Portuguese star ?

Why would Frenkie go to City? Pep is just going to play him as a glorified attacking midfielder the way Xavi is doing right now and people will call him a flop.

It makes way more sense for him to go elsewhere. He needs to play in a team where he'll play behind the ball and be given the freedom to play his game instead of playing in rigid positional systems.

The only way him going to City makes sense is if Pep decides to move to a 4-2-3-1 which I'm getting the feeling he might. City has been playing that shape in the PL recently. Their wingers are tucking narrow with their fullbacks making runs from deep on the overlap. I guess he might see him as a good partner for Rodri in a double pivot.

Not believing all these rumours of us willing to swap or sell Frankie, its been going on forever but clearly hes essential to us, unless Xavi is that crazy about La Masia n Busquets or if we can find a good enough replacement which I think all are not true, so Frankie is definitely staying.

Well, if Bernardo agrees to come FDJ will no longer be essential. I rate Frenkie, he's a great player don't get me wrong but not extraordinary, I feel like there's many cheaper players that can do more or less what he does (and would accept a more rotational role) whereas Bernardo is  really one of the best in the world.

Ideally we would have both but I dont see it, Frenkie would not gladly sit on the bench and also we need to raise some funds to make such a transfer move.
