Bernardo Silva's future seems to be finally becoming clearer. After winning the UEFA Champions League with Manchester City, the player has been totally silent about his decision to stay in Manchester or not. Despite having a contract until 2025, Bernardo Silva seems to have intentions of taking on a new challenge and Saudi Arabia has already made a final offer for the player.

 

Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal are offering Portuguese player Bernardo Silva three times what he is currently being paid by Manchester City, according to ESPN. Silva earns around $191,205 at the Etihad Stadium, but is tempted to move to Saudi Arabia with a deal that would see him earn more than $630,000 per week.

However, that's not all. The club is also already offering the highest bid to Manchester City to buy the Portuguese player outright. According to CBS, the Arab club will put a total of 70 million euros for Bernardo Silva. An offer slightly above what the English club is asking for and that could end up being accepted unexpectedly.

 

Will Bernardo Silva leave for Arabia?

Bernardo Silva has two years left on his contract and Manchester City will demand a significant fee before allowing him to leave, but that is unlikely to be a problem for the Saudi Pro League side. In fact, the 70 million may well be enough. In the Portuguese's case, despite wanting to remain in Europe, the impressive salary on offer could be key to convincing him.
