Atlético Mineiro"s Bernard has admitted he already has offers on the table for a summer transfer after winning the Copa Libertadores last night.

The Galo emerged victorious after a penalty shootout, but are set to lose their most prized asset in Bernard with more than one English club reported to be interested.

“I"ll keep working until the board decides something about the transfer," the youngster told Sportv. “There are offers from English football, Shakhtar and Porto."

“I don"t have anything to say about the fans. If I could, I would stay here the rest of my life. I don"t know what can happen with me but, if I leave, I know I will have done my job.

“I have said a thousand times that I want to stay, but it doesn"t depend on me now. I made it clear that, if I stay or not, I wanted to leave here with an important title. It"s up to God to decide if I stay or not, up to God, [Atletico Mineiro"s] presidency and the board.

“I am very happy and I want to celebrate this title, which is one of the most important ones I will have in my life."
