Manchester City make £75 million Bernardo Silva transfer decision and more transfer rumours

Manchester City have reportedly made a decision over Bernardo Silva’s future amid rumours of the Portuguese international being linked with PSG, Barcelona, and teams from the Saudi Pro League.

Silva reportedly told City chiefs of his desire to leave the club last summer amid interest from Barcelona but the winger was told he wasn’t allowed to leave the club.

Silva stayed and enjoyed a stellar campaign as City won the treble but it seems the 28-year-old is keen on leaving the club once again this summer.

Despite interest from Saudi Arabia, Silva reportedly has little interest in making the move to the Middle East. There is substantial interest in the winger from PSG and Barcelona, with the report stating he would be keen to explore the deal and talk to both clubs.

With Barcelona’s financial troubles reportedly scuppering any chance of a deal, it would appear Luis Enrique’s PSG are the front runners for the player’s signature.

According to Graeme Bailey of 90min, City intend to keep the former Monaco man despite the winger telling the sky Blues his desire to leave the club last summer and reaffirming that desire this summer.

According to the report, City have set a £75 million price tag and the French giants are willing to match that fee to sign the winger, as they face the prospect of losing Kylian Mbappe this summer.

ElsewҺeгe, Sport Bild reports that Manchester City have made an improved offer for RB Leipzig centre-back Joško Gvardiol.

The offer is said to be worth €90m plus €10m in add-ons which Leipzig have yet to accept the offer as they want more realistic goals for the add-ons. However, it is increasingly likely that the deal will be completed and both clubs will ultimately come to an agreement.

Leipzig are in no rush to sell the 21-year-old as the sale of Dominik Szoboszlai to Liverpool earlier in the summer means they are in a comfortable situation financially. Gvardiol also has a release clause in his Leipzig contract worth €112m which is valid from next summer meaning Leipzig could wait to sell the defender until then.
