MANCHESTER: Pep Guardiola insisted there is no chance of persuading David Silva to stay at Manchester City after the Spanish midfielder inspired a 2-1 win that pushed Bournemouth closer to relegation on Wednesday.
Asked if there was a way he could keep the playmaker, Guardiola said: “He has decided to leave, he has said many times. I think he wants to finish after 10 seasons here.“He played another exceptional game and scored again, two times in a row a fantastic goal. With West Ham and Watford – the teams directly above Bournemouth – meeting on Friday, the Cherries are not down yet, but they are in severe danger of slipping into the Championship.
Already assured of second place in the Premier League, City’s priorities are Saturday’s FA Cup semifinal against Arsenal and their Champions League last 16, second leg clash with Real Madrid next month. Fouled by Jefferson Lerma, Silva dusted himself down, took aim from the right-hand side of the penalty area and curled his freekick past Aaron Ramsdale’s despairing dive into the roof of the net.After a bright start, City lost a little rhythm and Bournemouth’s Josh King was given room for a shot that drifted wide.
Despite their wobble, City’s ability to conjure a moment of magic remains unparalleled and they doubled their lead through Jesus’s sublime effort in the 39th minute.
