Adrián Bernabé Garcia (born 26 May 2001) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Serie B club Parma.

Club career

Manchester City

A youth product of RCD Espanyol [4] and La Masia, the FC Barcelona academy, Bernabé joined Manchester City in the summer of 2018. [5] An attacking midfielder, Bernabé joined the first team in pre-season playing against Bayern Munich and played in the EFL Trophy against Shrewsbury Town. [6] On 25 September 2018, Bernabé came on as a late substitute in the EFL Cup against Oxford United, his first senior appearance for Manchester City. [7] Bernabé was released by City at the end of the 2020–21 season.

Parma

On 7 July 2021, Bernabé signed a three-year contract with Serie B club Parma. [8] Despite being sidelined upon his arrival due to an injury, which caused him to miss the first half of the season, Bernabé finally made his debut for Parma on 5 February 2022, in a league match against Benevento resulting in a 0–0 draw. [9] On 26 February, in a 4–0 league victory against SPAL, he scored his first goal for the club. [10] As a crucial part of the team under manager Giuseppe Iachini, Bernabé stood out, even amidst the club's underwhelming season where they fell short of both direct promotion as well as promotion play-offs to the top division. [9] [11]

Following another strong season with Parma, in which they only failed promotion after losing in the play-offs, Bernabé signed a contract extension with the club until 2026, on 2 July 2023. [12]
