ATLETICO Mineiro have given their clearest indication yet that £20 million Liverpool FC target Bernard will be sold this summer.
The playmaker’s current coach, Cuca, believes the starlet will leave the newly-crowned Copa Libertadores champions this summer having fulfilled his duties for the club, and admits it is now time for him to move to Europe.
Bernard, who is also chased by Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund and FC Porto, possibly played his last game in Série A last Wednesday during an eventful game which saw him score, then receive a red card.
The 20 year old left the pitch to thunderous applause from the home support, leaving Cuca to state after the game:
“You have to see all the good he did. He went from heaven to hell, but he’s a great player and is very important. The sending off also serves as a lesson to him not to do that again.
“He will travel, will do his stuff. I know I have to say that he has fulfilled his part. It is very difficult, almost impossible for him to stay here.”
The young Brazilian has been catching the eye of many of Europe’s elite clubs with his performances for Galo. Although lacking in physical stature, he has the skilled dribbling, dazzling footwork and technical prowess to match many of the world’s best playmakers. He’s most comparable fellow countryman Oscar and Philippe Coutinho, who both play a similar style of football to Bernard.
Despite expending much of his efforts going forward, Bernard doesn’t shy away from his defensive duties, tracking back and putting a tackle in where necessary. There is no doubt that he has learnt a lot from his time playing with Ronaldinho at Atlético and his game has improved dramatically. His energetic displays will make him a valuable addition to any of the rumoured, potential suitors.

Liverpool should get this lad, he would be great with Coutinho.
I just hope Rogers wont just keep talking and talking, but also act fast ASAP and bring in this options for LFC to kick start the season in a great way!
The likes of Chels*, Man City and Manure are going through a transition atm and the start of the season might prove a bit tough for them, so I believe it’s LFC’s chance to beat them to this and get back up there! YNWA!
Perhaps too like him though.
we must get him in Liverpool
What are u waitng for again,wont u sign ds lad until he cought d eyes of anoda football club.Pls,dont ruin liverpool for us sign bernad for so he wl take us to champion league,asist us alot by pairng him wth suarez,coutinho, steven gerard and ibe and others.
Liverpool should just sign Bernard as soon as possible.
Without hestation this is our chance to add strong minded player to the squad. BR pls get this lad for us. We must not miss out again. YNWA.
very good player he should be brought to anfield
He is indeed great to have in our team.The problem is where 2 get the money 2 buy him?
Fsg have money . Lots of it. Liverpool also generate lots of money. WE HAVE MONEY . it’s just fsg won’t spend
You are right on that account. 🙂
I hope is not speculation..probably to tease the LFC fans, please Rodgers act fast.
ln fact a chance comes once br harry b’se we want good players like him and let the uruguayan out if benard is done.
He’ll be off to Spuds. No doubt they’ll come in with an 11th hour bid for him just add we’re about to finalise the deal. Same old story.
Liverpool have to think fast for the persuit of this player….we need him so much 4 the comming of next season champions league..
Can BR get him thats the question?..fake..fake.. Dreams that never come into fruition..
To identify a target is not the problem but the sluggish Rogers! He is a go slow coach.
Prat
Y not get him now n stop killing us with fake hope. Rogers is time u do somtn befor they start lukin at us like 1 of all this small club around da world.
the question is do you really want this guy?, do you really think we can get him?, why?.
why would he go to liverpool when CL teams are bidding as well. Dont keep your hopes high boys!
We have failed to get many potential players because of the Suarez saga dragging. Better finish off that matter quickly and get the players we need fast.
