The Qatar Cup said that City do not want to lose players in a short period, especially since they are one of the main and important elements of coach Pep Guardiola, noting that they are waiting for the decision of the Spanish coach regarding the future of Silva and the possibility of allowing him to move to the Saudi league or not.
With two years left on Bernardo’s contract with City, the English club will require very high fees to cede their star to Saudi Hilal, whom he is aggressively trying to turn on.
Saudi Arabia’s Al Ahli are trying to resolve the transfer of Algerian Mahrez, along with Senegalese Sadio Mane, to their ranks in the coming days after the recent signing of Brazilian star Roberto Firmino and Senegalese goalkeeper Mendy.
