Guardiola Hopes Silva Stays, But Future Undecided

0:00On April 10th, Pep Guardiola is straight up saying he'd love for Captain Bernardo Silva to finish his career at Manchester City, but it's all on the 31-year-old to decide if he stays or bounces. Last week, City's assistant coach, Pep Lisionders, dropped a hint that Silva's nine-year run might wrap up this summer, noting every good story has an end, especially after their four-neil thrashing of Liverpool. Silva's contract expires a season's end, and he's been linked to Barcelona, Juventus, and even Major League Soccer teams, but Guardiola's holding out. Hope since the Portuguese star hasn't spilled the beans yet. Guardiola joked he's grumpy because Silva promised to tell him first about any decision a month ago and cricket so far. 150 of the parents in that EFL Cup, final win over Arsenal, and he's been captain since Kevin De Bruyne left. Lisionders praised how irreplaceable Silva is, with that fire and tough moments, and Guardiola echoed that love for his competitiveness, leaving it as, Silva's call on wrapping up here, or chasing new chapters.
