Manchester City handed fresh transfer headache days to Chelsea game with Pep increasingly frustrated

Manchester City star Bernardo Silva has admitted he could do with a new challenge just at the time his team is struggling for form in the Premier League.

Pep Guardiola’s team have won one, drawn one and lost one of their last three Premier League games, they head to the capital to take on a Chelsea side who themselves are not in the best of places after dropping points in the last game.

Bernardo Silva has been at Manchester City for almost six years and has been one of the stand-out players but he’s recently admitted he has a dream of playing for Benfica at some point in his career. He’s also admits he’ll be 29 soon and a footballer’s career is very short.

Last summer he was strongly linked with a move to Barcelona but no substantial offer was made to Man City so he stayed put.

He says he’s still looking for a fresh challenge even though anything is still possible and he wants to win the league with Manchester City again.

He’s quoted by the Manchesterevening news: “I won’t hide that my goal in the coming years, if something good happens elsewhere, will probably be to move to a new project.”

Their host on Thursday, Chelsea beat Bournemouth last week- but could only draw against Nottingham Forest which has turned the pressure on manager Graham Potter, as questions continue to be raised about his suitability to the job.

To be fair to Potter- he’s been in the job barely three months and has had key players like Reece James and N’Golo Kante out injured for most of the time he’s been there.

On the transfer front, Chelsea are also looking to sign Enzo Fernandez from Benfica but they will have to break the bank for the midfielder who was a success at the World Cup in Qatar.
