There is a club president election at Benfica this week, and the former player tweeted out a lengthy statement. He wrote that the Portuguese side lacked ambition and needed a new president.
Bernardo Silva forced his way out Benfica: Jorge Jesus
Benfica manager Jorge Jesus has now taken the opportunity to reveal that Bernardo Silva forced his way out of the club. He also stated that the contract offer from AS Monaco turned the player’s head and he asked the coach to let him leave. He said:
Bernardo Silva played for 3 years under Jorge Jesus at Benfica before he moved to AS Monaco. He was at the Ligue 1 club for just two seasons before Manchester City came calling. The Portuguese star has been at the club ever since and has won several trophies with the Manchester side.
This is not the first time a social media post has landed Silva in the headlines. He was handed a one-match suspension and fined for his racist tweet about his teammate, Benjamin Mendy.
