Bernardo Silva: "Culturally, Portuguese and English are quite different; the weather, the food, the way of living is a bit different. I always joke that if #ManCity was a bit more [in the] south of Europe, I'd stay until people kicked my ass out! Because I truly love the football club, my teammates, the staff, the fans, the stadium, the atmosphere - everything about my professional life! "Then, the other side of my life, it's different because I'm not saying I don't like, but culturally it's not 100% what I'd ideally want. So in some moments you're not feeling as happy as you want. Before I met my wife, I was alone in Manchester for a period where I didn't feel that well with myself. I definitely thought a lot about leaving, not because I didn't like the football club - which I really love - but because of the other side of my life. "At the end, it didn't happen. I'm really happy it didn't! Because I would've probably lost the opportunity to live the memories of the treble, four-in-a-row, opportunity of being a captain, in the leadership group, passing experience to the young guys, trying to put the club back where it deserves. But if Manchester City was in Lisbon, I'd stay until I'm 40..." [via @ManCity]

Rodri: "I have one year left on my #ManCity contract. At some point we'll have to sit down and talk… Even though I've played for Atleti, [Real] Madrid isn't a closed door for me - you can't turn your back on the best clubs…” [via @RadioestadioN]
