Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva is at the center of transfer rumors linking him to Barcelona in the upcoming window. While Barcelona failed to sign him last summer, Mundo Deportivo believes it is now “feasible” for the La Liga side to secure the midfielder. Sources suggest Silva is considering leaving Manchester City and views the next window as the ideal time to make the move, with Barcelona being his preferred destination. The €58m release clause is seen as affordable for Barcelona under their 1:1 rule strategy.

Sport reports that Silva is eager to join Barcelona and has expressed a desire to leave Manchester City as his family wants to depart England. The 30-year-old is willing to take a pay cut to make the transfer possible. Manchester City is aware of his intentions and could be open to negotiation with Barcelona if the release clause is activated. While the move may be reported as hopeful thinking by the media, the potential transfer could be influenced by player sales to balance the books.

Barcelona’s interest in signing Bernardo Silva from Manchester City is gaining traction as the player’s wish to join the La Liga club has not wavered. The Catalan club’s 1:1 rule strategy could prove useful in securing the transfer, as they aim to reinvest earnings from player sales. Silva’s apparent eagerness to make the move, coupled with Barcelona’s rapport with Manchester City, points towards a possible deal in the upcoming window, despite uncertainties surrounding player sales and financial considerations.
