'Great player,' 'Useless' - Brighton supporters split following £9m left-back loan departure
Brighton & Hove Albion today confirmed that left-back Bernado will spend the rest of the campaign on loan with reigning Austrian champions RB Salzburg, subject to international clearance.

@mingman51: “He is not quite up to the standard what is required in a very competitive Premier league!!!”
@brettbrighton: “Announce Caciedo.”
@bhanoah: “Good luck Bernardo.”
