Paris Saint-Germain are preparing for life without Kylian Mbappe and are reportedly looking at replacements, with Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva emerging as a possible target.
Less than 24 hours after Kylian Mbappé informed PSG president, Nasser Al Khelaifi that he will leave the club as a free agent during the upcoming summer, the Paris-based club has started their hunt for a replacement for the 25-year-old forward.
French media has linked Bernardo Silva with a move to Paris Saint-Germain, and it is suggested that the interest is mutual. According to L’Equipe, the French club has been dreaming of luring the Portugal international to the French capital for a number of years. There have been discussions about Bernardo Silva’s possible departure from Manchester City due to his dissatisfaction with the cultural and environmental aspects of life in England’s north-west.
It is believed that Bernardo Silva now has a fairly low release clause in his contract, making a move more feasible for clubs that are interested. Both Barcelona and SL Benfica have been mentioned as potential destinations, but the financial aspects of the transfer are a challenge for both clubs.
In a recent interview, Bernardo Silva’s teammate Ruben Dias highlighted the ongoing saga of the midfielder’s potential departure, likening it to a TV series. Dias expressed his happiness when Bernardo Silva signed a new contract with Manchester City and emphasized how important he is for the team’s success.
As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen whether Paris Saint-Germain will make a move for Bernardo Silva, or if another club will secure his services. With the summer transfer window fast approaching, the future of the Portugal international will be a subject of great interest in the coming months.
