Bernardo Silva discusses his future and Barça's interest

The Portuguese star addressed his future after Portugal’s 2-1 win against Chile in a friendly ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

Questioned about the rumors linking him to FC Barcelona, Bernardo Silva did not close the door on a potential move to Catalonia.

"Barcelona is an option, but I haven't made my decision yet," he told reporters.

The midfielder was keen to remain cautious regarding his next steps: "There are several possibilities and I prefer not to discuss any one club in particular out of respect for all the teams that have shown interest."

Now 31, Bernardo Silva also outlined the criteria that will influence his decision in this transfer window: "I'm looking for a club where I feel valued and genuinely trusted. That will be a decisive factor in my choice."

The Portuguese international concluded by assuring that no final decision has yet been made: "You'll know my choice once I’ve made it. For now, I’m still evaluating all the options available to me."
