Pep Guardiola says he is “so grumpy” with Bernardo Silva because he has not told him whether he’s leaving Manchester City or not.
The midfielder has reportedly informed the club that he intends on leaving when his contract expires this summer, but there has been no official confirmation of his decision.
Barcelona and Juventus have both been linked with a free transfer for the 31-year-old in the summer.
Guardiola reveals why he’s ‘so grumpy’ with Man City star Silva
Speaking at his pre-match press conference ahead of Sunday’s Premier League clash with Chelsea, Guardiola claimed he was none the wiser to the player’s intentions.
When asked on Friday if Silva had told him he will leave City, Guardiola responded: “I do not know. I am so grumpy with Bernardo, because a month ago I said I had to be the first for him to tell me and he didn’t say anything to me yet.
“I do not know if he has already decided. I said jokingly to him to tell me, I deserve it, but he didn’t tell me. I do not know what is going on.”
Silva has been a key cog in City’s phenomenal success over the past nine years, winning six Premier League titles and the UEFA Champions League since joining from Monaco in 2017.
“He is really good in all departments,” Guardiola added. “He plays a lot of games. Nine years we have been together and no injuries. He can play in different positions, he is so smart and reads every moment that the action and game requires. When you play a lot of games, it gives us a lot of trust and confidence how he is going to perform.

PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
