Bernardo Silva no longer plays for Feyenoord, the twenty-year-old Portuguese announced via Instagram. The midfielder was taken over transfer-free from Benfica last year, but had a difficult time in Rotterdam partly due to the corona crisis. He is leaving after only two matches for Jong Feyenoord.
The reserve competition that Jong Feyenoord plays in was shut down last September due to the corona measures. The U23 team of the Rotterdam-squad was therefore unable to play any matches. A disappointment for Bernardo Silva, who found a solution in January by playing at FC Dordrecht on a rental basis. There he made eleven appearances in the Kitchen Champion Division, without producing goals or assists.
“I want to start by thanking Feyenoord,” Bernardo Silva writes on Instagram. “I am very grateful for the opportunity I have been given and have nothing but love for this club. I felt welcome from day one. Last season was very unhappy and difficult for everyone to experience. We could not be together for a long time training, we couldn’t even practice with the ball. It was mentally and physically tough.”
Nevertheless, he looks back positively on his time in the Netherlands. “I have grown in this house, as a player, but also as a person. The club and the city are very special. It is with a heavy heart that I say goodbye because I will always feel that things could have been very different for different reasons. to be.” It seems that Bernardo Silva and Feyenoord have decided by mutual agreement to terminate his contract, which ran until mid-2022.
