Bernardo Silva is a Portuguese playmaker of exceptional close control and stamina, a player who combines the trickery of a winger with the tactical diligence of a central midfielder. His ability to keep the ball in tight spaces and press relentlessly makes him invaluable.
A product of Benfica’s youth setup who rose to prominence at Monaco, he became a mainstay of a dominant Manchester City side, collecting a wealth of league titles and a Champions League while serving as a talismanic figure for Portugal.
