Manchester City have already sorted out a list of ‘unwanted’ players who could leave the club this summer. Recently, Pep Guardiola, too, confirmed that the club could bid farewell to some of their star players this summer. The Spaniard did confirm that Bernardo Silva’s name was on the list but did not reveal other names as he said :

"Not just Bernardo, there are two or three players that want to leave Man City.But they are our players and when they bring some offer and they want to leave, we are open to discuss but it depends on them."

Talking about Silva, there has been a lot of speculation about the star’s future at the club. The Sky Blues were reportedly considering including the Portuguese star in a potential part-exchange deal for Harry Kane, but it seems that this proposed move may not take place as the Spurs are not interested in a swap transfer.

Arsenal, too, were said to be interested in the signature of the City star. Although it seems that the North London side may not be able to acquire the talented midfielder. A new report from  Portuguese journalist Felipe Dias has revealed that Bernardo Silva has rejected the chance to join the Gunners this summer.

The 27-year-old midfielder is definitely in search of a new club and is looking for an attractive destination. According to Felipe Dias, a move to the Emirates would not be “a step forward in his career” and hence the star midfielder would consider a better club.
