#3 Bernardo Silva
Bernardo Silva will set Manchester City back by 50 million euros when the Citizens complete his transfer from Monaco next month, and he is none other than Norton de Matos’s catch. Silva, who came through the ranks at Benfica before heading east to Monaco in 2014, had a rapid rise that started with Norton de Matos handing him a debut against Trofense in the Portuguese second division for Benfica B in August 2013. He played the final 30 minutes of the game which ended 0-0.
Silva’s rise since has been so meteoric that he made his Champions League debut for Monaco a year later and has now become one of the most sought-after playmakers in the world. While any coach would’ve immediately noticed the potential of Silva, it cannot undermine Norton de Matos’s eye for talent.
