Manchester City star Bernardo Silva guesses how much he's worth in transfer market - and is MILLIONS off his real value - with Barcelona and Benfica among interested clubs

Portuguese playmaker Bernardo Silva guessed his market price, and was miles off his real value.

The Man City star assessed himself at 'over £40million', though Transfermarkt reveals his actual value at over £69m.

Since his £43.5 million transfer from AS Monaco to Manchester City in 2017, Silva has consistently delivered impressive performances, accumulating over 300 appearances.

Silva has contributed to the team's success in the Premier League and Champions League, including their historic treble last season.

While the 29-year-old is currently in his seventh season with Manchester City, rumours around a potential departure have been circulating.

Barcelona has expressed interest, pursuing the star in the previous summer, where he could join former City players Ilkay Gundogan, Ferran Torres, and loan star Joao Cancelo.

There is also the possibility of a return to his hometown of Portugal with Benfica.

When discussing the prospect of rejoining his former club, Silva self-assessed his value, quoting 'over €50 million (£40 million).' However, Transfermarkt indicates his actual market value to be €80 million (£69 million).

In an interview with A Bola regarding a return to Benfica, Silva expressed his desire for the move, but stressed the need to 'be realistic'.

He said: 'I've never hidden that one day I want to go back, so of course I do. Now, we'll see over time what's possible and it's not worth talking about this all the time, because people get tired... Let's see.'

'There are contractual issues that have to be respected and... you have to live the reality, that Portuguese football at a financial level cannot compete with English, Spanish or even German and French clubs.

'For example, even if I wanted to go to Benfica at the moment it was totally impossible because Manchester City is asking for a lot of money for a transfer for me. 

'In the last four or five years I have been a player valued at over 50 million euros and it is impossible for a Portuguese club to pay that kind of value. People have to be a little realistic.'
