According to today’s Mundo Deportivo, the Portuguese player is still hopeful that he can go from Manchester City to Barcelona.
Barcelona continues to be interested in Silva despite their current financial difficulties, but a trade will undoubtedly be challenging to complete.
Silva has also been connected to a move to Saudi Arabia, but it appears the £150,000-a-week (ESPN) winger would want to stay in Europe, with PSG and Barcelona, of course, being the clubs said to be interested.
Barcelona hopes a deal can be reached for Bernardo Silva.
The same report from the Spanish site claims that people in Spain are hopeful that City will be able to assist in arranging a trade for the 28-year-old.
For Pep Guardiola’s team, Silva, who transferred to City from French club AS Monaco back in 2017, has been a dazzling success.
It would be unfortunate for City to lose such a crucial player, who has consistently played at a high level for the Premier League champions.
However, it appears that the purge is still ongoing for City.
Riyad Mahrez apparently wants to leave to Saudi Arabia, Kyle Walker is claimed to have signed a contract with Bayern Munich, and Aymeric Laporte will supposedly move with the arrival of Josko Gvardiol.
The former Athletic Bilbao defender will see less action because the Croatian is soon to arrive.
It is unknown if City will search the market for a replacement right-winger.
There may be less need for a replacement since Phil Foden and Jack Grealish can play either side for City.
Cole Palmer appears to have a promising future as well. For Guardiola’s team, the Englishman has been used as a wide player.
