Cancelo played a key role in parts of the 2020/2021 campaign, earning praise from Rio Ferdinand on BT Sport (via the Daily Mail) for his versatility and performances in the Champions League.
Bernardo was also a regular for the Sky Blues and attracted his own plaudits, with manager Pep Guardiola stating the tenacious midfield player has a ‘special quality’ (mancity.com).
Now, as per journalist Duncan Castles, Bernardo wants to leave the Etihad Stadium and has two offers – one from Atletico Madrid and the other from Barcelona.

Flocking to this development, many supporters have erupted in response with a wide array of verdicts – find all of their best ones from social media down below.
