#1 BERNARDO SILVA
A player who shares his name with the Merlin himself, Bernardo Silva is aptly skilled when it comes to creating chances for his teammates to score goals. While City try to look around themselves for a perfect replacement for the little wizard, Bernardo might be the best option who they already have.

The playmaker played a whopping 37 league games for AS Monaco in the Ligue 1. He scored 8 goals and provided 9 assists last season. Silva created 59 chances in the whole season, averaging at 1.59 per game as he helped his side trump PSG to the Ligue 1 title.
Guardiola has a stellar reputation when it comes to grooming young players. After all, he is the one who created the dynamite we know as Leo Messi. The Spaniard could help Bernardo Silva become better and better in the coming years until he is worthy of being called as the successor to the man they call Merlin.
