Reports suggest that FC Barcelona is still showing interest in signing Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva this summer. Throughout the season, Silva has played a significant role for Manchester City, performing well in various positions, particularly in advanced midfield and as a wide-forward under Pep Guardiola. Despite his strong performances and satisfaction with his City teammates, there is an ongoing feeling that the upcoming transfer window could provide an opportunity for Silva to leave the club.
Silva has previously expressed his dissatisfaction with the lifestyle in Manchester and has indicated a preference for a move closer to home in Portugal. As a result, a return to Portugal has been postponed, potentially paving the way for a move to Barcelona. According to the information from Spanish newspaper Sport, Barcelona remains interested in Silva’s services and is looking to make a move in the upcoming summer transfer window.
In the previous transfer window, Barcelona’s attempt to sign Silva was hindered by an asking price of €65 million. However, it is now believed that his price could drop to €50 million, making a potential deal more viable. Manchester City has reportedly not opposed Silva’s departure, as long as the financial demands are met. This has prompted speculation about a potential return to Benfica for Silva in the future, although the club’s president, Rui Costa, has expressed concerns about the financial feasibility of such a move.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding his future, Silva remains focused on achieving success with Manchester City. He has been a consistent performer for the team this season, registering seven goals and four assists in 26 appearances across all competitions. His determination to succeed with City was evident in his response to questions about the club’s winning potential this season, as he confidently exclaimed, “Do you doubt us?”
