Bernardo Silva is reportedly willing to take a pay cut to join Barcelona from Manchester City in the upcoming summer transfer window. The Manchester City playmaker is eager for Barcelona to make a quick decision about pursuing him and does not want any uncertainties lingering into August. Despite Silva’s desire to move, his release clause of €58 million is complicating matters.

Having established himself as a key player for Manchester City over the past seven years, Silva has contributed significantly to the team’s success with 66 goals and 62 assists in over 350 appearances. The Portuguese international is now looking for a new challenge and has set his sights on joining Barcelona. However, Barcelona’s financial constraints may pose a hurdle in securing Silva’s services, as they struggle to raise the necessary funds.

Barcelona’s interest in Silva stems from uncertainties surrounding the futures of Raphinha and Ferran Torres, making the 29-year-old midfielder a valuable target for the club. Silva’s versatility in playing through the central areas or out wide adds to his appeal for Barcelona. Despite his willingness to take a pay cut to facilitate the move, the Catalan outfit’s financial limitations may prevent them from meeting Silva’s release clause, presenting a potential obstacle in the midfielder’s desired move to Barcelona.
