Barcelona are looking to sign Manchester City player Bernardo Silva this summer, with the hope that agent Jorge Mendes will help facilitate the deal. The La Liga club has a history of signing players from City in recent years, and are now eyeing Silva as their next target. Barcelona may need to sell one of their young stars to afford Silva’s £50m release clause, which City paid £43m for back in 2017. Silva has been a key player for City, making over 350 appearances and contributing with goals and assists.

Silva was linked with Barcelona in the previous summer transfer window, but ended up staying at City and signing a contract extension. He has continued to perform well this season, helping City compete for another Premier League title and potential FA Cup. Barcelona may have to pay Silva’s release clause to secure his transfer, despite hoping that Mendes will assist in negotiations. The Spanish club is eager to reinforce their squad this summer, and Silva is seen as a valuable addition to their team.

Barcelona’s interest in Silva highlights their ambition to strengthen their squad and compete at the highest level in Europe. The potential transfer could see Silva leave City after several successful years at the club, as Barcelona look to build a team capable of challenging for trophies. Mendes’ involvement in the negotiations could be crucial in securing Silva’s move to Barcelona, as the La Liga side aims to bring in top talent ahead of the new season.
