Transfer: It was easy decision to stay at Man City, no offer from Barcelona – Silva

Manchester City playmaker, Bernardo Silva, has claimed it was an easy decision to stay with the Premier League champions.

Silva insisted that the one offer he received this summer did not come from Barcelona.

The Portugal international was linked with a move to Camp Nou during the transfer window but said he was not aware of any bids from Barcelona or any other Spanish club.

The 28-year-old said the Premier League champions received one offer — believed to be from Paris Saint-Germain — but that it arrived too close to the deadline to be considered.

“It wasn’t a tough decision [to stay],” Silva said.

“There was one offer from one team, no more than that, so it was quite easy for me and for the club because the only offer that came came quite late so for the club to find a replacement it wouldn’t be easy. I’m very happy here as I said and I’m going to do my best.

“The truth is there have been no offers from Spain, so I’m staying in Manchester and I’m happy. That’s all, that’s my choice.”
