Retaining Bernardo Silva is a huge coup for Manchester City given Gundogan's exit and his ability to play multiple positions
on the pitch, who they fought tooth and nail to keep after he had decided to join Bayern Munich. He has decided to stay after all and is expected to sign a new contract, and the value of that will surely be obvious throughout the season.
Over a month ago, Guardiola had said City’s transfer window is “a question of numbers — how many names you have in the squad”, and that remains the case, as does his other statement.“We will see if we need wingers or players inside, we will see what happens with loan players, which players stay here or not. A few things are going to happen.”
Not only is he a wonderfully gifted footballer who understands exactly what Guardiola wants, but he is versatile, too. It would have been, on a football level, devastating for City to lose both Gundogan and Bernardo in the same summer for that reason alone, with so much football intelligence walking out the door.They did not want to lose either Mahrez or Bernardo but when it became clear the Algerian was likely to go they essentially decided they had to do all they could to keep the Portuguese.
