• The Manchester City star has been pivotal for various managers he has played under

Bernardo Silva has evolved into one of the most exceptional attacking midfielders in the world of football. The 29-year-old Portuguese star never fails to captivate fans, whether he's dazzling in the blue of Manchester City or representing the Portuguese national team.

Having joined Manchester City from Monaco in the summer of 2017, the attacker has garnered significant attention in recent years due to his reluctance to extend his contract with the Premier League club.

Despite recent reports by Sky Sports confirming a contract extension until 2026, discussions about his future and a potential departure from the Etihad Stadium continue to circulate.

In a recent interview reported by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, manager Pep Guardiola stressed the importance of the midfielder to his squad, stating:

"We were scared to lose Bernardo Silva in the summer! He is irreplaceable. I could spend 10 minutes talking about what Bernardo means to me and our team. We cherish him, and he is beloved by everyone in the locker room."

Nonetheless, Silva appears to have stoked the flames of talk regarding his future as he named a manager he would love to play for.

Silva's recent interview

During an interview with ESPN UK, when asked about a manager, past or present, he would like to play under, Silva responded,

"I already play under one of the best, if not the best ever. I'll say Carlo Ancelotti, with his wealth of experience and status as one of the best ever."

This choice of Ancelotti has reignited discussions linking Silva with a potential move to Real Madrid.
