Pep Guardiola tells Joan Laporta he thinks Bernardo Silva will stay at Man City

Barcelona president Joan Laporta and Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola have been chatting about Bernardo Silva at a press conference to announce a friendly game between the two sides.

There has been speculation Barcelona want Bernardo this summer, as a replacement for Frenkie de Jong, and Laporta jokingly asked Pep if he’d be bringing the midfielder to the Camp Nou.

“Bernardo and 10 more,” Pep replied with a laugh before adding, “Today I think he will continue with us but I have always said I don’t want players that don’t want to be with us. But Bernardo is important and I think he will stay.
