Club career

Vitória Guimarães

Born in Accra, Bernard joined Vitória de Guimarães' youth setup in 2012, after starting it out at Feyenoord Ghana.[1] He made his senior debuts with the reserves in the 2012–13 campaign, scoring nine goals and earning promotion to Segunda Liga.[2]

On 4 July 2014 Bernard renewed his contract until 2018,[3] being promoted to the main squad on the 18th.[4] He made his professional – and Primeira Liga – debut on 16 August, starting and scoring his side's second in a 3–1 away win against Gil Vicente FC.[5]

Seven days later, Bernard scored a brace in a 3–0 home success over FC Penafiel.[6] His fourth league goal came on 14 September, netting through a penalty in a 1–1 draw against FC Porto also at the Estádio D. Afonso Henriques.[7]

Bernard was linked to a possible move to Manchester United in May 2015,[8] being also a target of Juventus and Valencia CF.[9] He finished his first season in the Portuguese top flight with 30 appearances and five goals, with his side finishing fifth.

Atlético Madrid

On 22 July, Bernard moved to Atlético Madrid on a six-year deal,[10] being immediately loaned out to fellow La Liga side Getafe CF for the 2015-16 season.[11]

International career

On 8 June 2015, Mensah made his debut for Ghana in a match against Togo, scoring the only goal of the game.[12]
