Atlético Mineiro starlet Bernard has avoided answering questions over his future, having previously fanned the flames of speculation by admitting he could be sold in January.
Bernard, 20, was facing up to the media ahead of Atlético’s meeting with Coritiba this Sunday – a side they have not beaten away from home in eight years.
When asked if there had been any developments regarding his future plans, the youngster was unwilling to elaborate on his previous comments as he abruptly dismissed the questioning.
“I don’t want to touch on the subject,” Bernard responded. “I’d rather not talk about it anymore.
“I want to focus on the Brasileirão – I don’t know what will happen in the future. Whatever is decided will be good for everyone.”
The Galo playmaker is considered favourite to win the Revelation of the Brasileirão 2012 prize, following a season in which he has greatly impressed with consistent performances as his side challenge for an unlikely league title.
