Bernard's future at Atletico Mineiro uncertain amid potential Super League return

The 33-year-old Brazilian winger Bernard is reportedly considering an early departure from Atletico Mineiro, where he has been under contract until December 2027 since his return in February 2024. The player's performance has not met expectations, leading to a reduced role in the team and speculation regarding a contract termination. Currently, Bernard is exploring opportunities to return to the Greek Super League. Previous contacts with PAOK did not lead to an agreement. Reports indicate that he has been proposed to Aris, which is considering the transfer under the condition that his financial demands are reduced. The club is reportedly looking for salary expectations to drop below one million euros, potentially facilitated by a severance package from Atletico Mineiro. No official agreement has been confirmed by any of the parties involved.
