"It's a lot of pressure and speculation. It's annoying. I have to talk about this every time, this is all I have been thinking about. That affects me on the pitch, but God controls everything and He is seeing what will be my future."
Arsenal, Porto are believed to be interested in the highly rated South American but Ukrainian club Shakhtar Donetsk have agreed to meet Mineiro's valuation of the playmaker.
However, Bernard's father has reiterated his son's desire to join Porto claiming that Shakhtar was never an option.Bernard, however, told Lancenet that he is happy at the club and wants to stay there beyond this summer.
"I have given myself time to think, but money isn't everything in life," Bernard told .
"I want to be happy and if that means staying in a place earning less money, then that's what I want.
"I have made it clear that I want to stay, but the pressure is big from all sides. I have to sleep with this weight. I ask God to guide me somewhere.
