Man City’s Dilemma: Willingness to Sell Key Star Grows Amidst Price Adjustments
At the Etihad Stadium, Silva has two years left on his contract, but for the past two summers, rumors of a transfer away from the club have persisted.
The midfielder has long been admired by Barcelona and PSG, but in recent weeks, Saudi Arabian clubs have been attempting to lure Silva away from Man City. Football Insider reports that the Premier League winner is willing to accept £45 million to £50 million for the Portuguese star if the 28-year-old decides to leave the Manchester club. The Middle East or Paris appear to be the likely destinations if the player leaves Manchester.
Six years into his tenure at Man City, Silva has developed into one of Pep Guardiola’s most crucial players. The midfielder has achieved success with the Manchester club and appears fascinated by a fresh challenge.
Time will tell if Silva departs the Etihad, and if he does, it will be a major setback for Guardiola as the new campaign gets underway, especially with Ilkay Gundogan also departing his squad, but the City manager is more than capable of filling both positions.
