Bernardo is ready to replace O'Riley whether a transfer happens or not
The Portuguese star is determined to make a major impact having completed his £3.5million permanent switch from Benfica , insisting the sky’s the limit. Bernardo grew through his loan spell last term and now he wants to be a leader within the squad and give back-up to skipper Callum McGregor – whether O’Riley stays or not amid interest from England and abroad. He said: “I don’t know what will happen. I’m here to do my job and if he stays or not I want to take the place, that’s it.
“I have this leadership in me. Every player has to be a captain. Callum is a great captain and for me he’s the best leader that I’ve had before. Bernardo said: “Portugal has a lot of players and a lot of quality in the midfield and in other positions. It will not be easy to go for the national team. AndI have to show first here and then the things will happen naturally.
