Galatasaray has accelerated its transfer efforts for next season's squad. Positive signals have come from Bernardo Silva, who plays for Manchester City, to Galatasaray. Silva stated that he has not been able to adapt to living conditions in England and expressed that he is closer to leaving than ever before. Silva's signals of departure have strengthened Galatasaray's transfer hopes.
Galatasaray, aiming to finish the season in the Super League with a championship, has also accelerated its efforts for squad planning for the next season. The yellow-reds, who are directing their transfer activities based on the report of head coach Okan Buruk, have turned their attention to England.
SIGNAL OF DEPARTURE
Bernardo Silva, who has been on Galatasaray's agenda for a long time, made striking statements. The Portuguese star, who previously gave positive signals to the yellow-reds, expressed that he is closer than ever to leaving Manchester City. Silva, who has been playing for the English team for 9 years, stated that he has never been able to adapt to the living conditions in England.
"IT'S HARD TO ADAPT TO ENGLAND"
The 31-year-old player pointed out the cultural differences between Portugal and England, saying, "The weather, food, and lifestyle are very different. I always joke; if Manchester City were in southern Europe, I wouldn't leave until they sent me away. I was happy here, but I always had a dilemma inside me." He also added that he seriously considered leaving during his time spent alone in Manchester.
OPENING THE DOOR FOR TRANSFER
Although Silva stated that he is pleased to stay at Manchester City due to the successes he has achieved in his career, he emphasized that he has not fully adapted to England. The experienced player's contract expiring at the end of the season and granting authority to his manager for new offers strengthened the possibility of a transfer.
EUROPEAN GIANTS ARE ALSO IN THE GAME
It has been learned that Barcelona, Benfica, and Juventus are also interested in Bernardo Silva, in addition to Galatasaray. Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola expressed his affection for the star player and stated that he would respect the decision he makes. This season, Bernardo Silva has played 42 matches in a Manchester City jersey, contributing with 3 goals and 5 assists.
