Pep Guardiola's reaction
“After seven years at Man City, I think I'll have a break. I need to stop and see, learn from other coaches, and maybe take that path.
"In this process, I'd like to coach a national team, a European Championship, a Copa America, a World Cup. I want this experience.
"A national team will be the next step, yes. It's the next step.”
Earlier, Briefly News had reported how Manchester City star Bernardo Silva agreed to personal terms with Italian League giants AC Milan this summer.
The attacker has been an important part of Pep Guardiola's squad, having won three Premier Leagues and one FA Cup since his arrival in 2017.
But in spite of his success at the Etihad Stadium, the Portugal international has been linked with a move to top European clubs including Barcelona.
Sport Bible quoting journalist Ekrem Konur report that Silva may finally get the chance to leave City before the transfer window closes with Milan interested in his services.
He however added that despite the midfielder already reaching a personal agreement with the Serie A club, both City and Milan are yet to reach a deal with less than seven days till the transfer window closes.
