Manchester City winger Bernardo Silva insists that he is happy at the club and not thinking about speculation linking him with a move to Barcelona.

Manchester City winger Bernardo Silva has rubbished speculation linking him with a move to Barcelona this summer.

Bernardo has established himself as one of Man City's most important players in their quest for a domestic treble this season, scoring 13 goals and creating 12 more across all competitions.

The Portugal international's form saw him nominated for the PFA Player of the Year award and earn a place in the PFA Team of the Year, but it is also thought to have attracted interest from some of Europe's biggest clubs.

Barcelona are among the clubs understood to be monitoring the situation, but Bernardo insists that he is happy at the Etihad Stadium.

"I do not think about it. I just renewed my contract with Manchester City, and after this season I have another three years of contract. I am very happy in Manchester," the 24-year-old told Portuguese outlet Record.

Bernardo joined Man City in the summer of 2017 and has since made more than 100 senior appearances for the club across all competitions.
