According to recent reports, Paris Saint-Germain is looking to revamp their first-team squad this summer following the news that star player Kylian Mbappe intends to leave the club for Real Madrid on a free transfer. This has led to speculation that PSG may be targeting Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva as a potential addition to their team.
Last summer, there were discussions between PSG and Manchester City regarding Silva, but the proposed deal did not meet the expectations of the Premier League champions. As a result, Silva remained at Manchester City and signed a contract extension that includes a release clause that will be active from this summer.
Despite being an integral part of Manchester City’s system, Silva has reportedly been considering a move away from the club. It is said that he has not been fully content with the environment and culture in Manchester and has been considering a move to FC Barcelona, largely due to his desire to be closer to his native Portugal. However, Barcelona has been unable to meet the valuation set by Manchester City.
The release clause in Silva’s contract, rumored to be around £50 million, has the potential to reignite Barcelona’s interest in the player. This new development has sparked speculation about Silva’s future and the possibility of a move to PSG.
It remains to be seen whether PSG will pursue Silva as part of their squad revamp this summer. If he does leave Manchester City, it will undoubtedly pose a significant challenge for the club to find a suitable replacement for the talented Portuguese international.
