Mendes: Bernardo doubted

Jorge Mendes revealed that many people expected Bernardo Silva not to become an important player. Monaco, in fact, did not want to keep him after his first season, until Mendes persuaded the club’s president to give him a chance. Silva later moved to Manchester City, where he found a team suited to his possession-based style. Mendes said Benfica signed João Félix when he was at Porto as a courtesy, after the club had shown interest in Félix’s brother and he had moved there. He noted that more than 80% of the players whose transfers he had handled had not been their clubs’ standout players. He warned that many talents were being lost because they were not given opportunities, and praised Barcelona for giving players from its reserve team the chance to join the first team.
