[edit] Club career

Bernardo grew up in New Jersey, moving to Italy at age sixteen to pursue his professional soccer career.^[1] Prior to moving to Italy he played for the MetroStars U-17 and U-19 Teams.^[2] He joined Napoli in 2006 playing for the Napoli primavera squad. With Napoli Bernardo has been primarily deployed as an attacking midfielder or as a second striker. In 2009 he was offered a chance to go on loan with a club from Italy's Serie C2 along with a 2 year extension from Napoli but he declined the offer and has become a free agent. He is currently looking for a club that will keep up his chances of one day playing for the United States.^[2]

[edit] International career

Bernardo has also been involved with the United States national team since the U-15 level, and has played for the United States U-17 and United States U-20 national team. He has denied rumors that he is interested in following Giuseppe Rossi in playing for Italy, stressing his desire to "become an important player for [the U.S.] in the future."^[3]
