Prominent reinforcement for FC Barcelona – if Hansi Flick has his way. The Catalans’ coach has allegedly given sports director Deco and Co. the green light for a transfer of a real superstar. This is even available free of charge.
The FC Barcelona team can possibly look forward to a prominent new addition. As the radio station “RAC1” reports, Hansi Flick has given those responsible his okay to sign Bernardo Silva.
The 31-year-old Portuguese has been one of the steadfast pillars at Manchester City over the last nine years and enjoyed every possible success with the club under Pep Guardiola. However, Silva’s contract, which expired at the end of the season, was not extended. This means that the technician is now on the market free of charge.
Barca beats Juve and Atlético
FC Barcelona is said to have had the playmaker on its wish list for a long time. Recently, Juventus Turin was also linked with a commitment. There were also rumors about a move to Atlético Madrid. But the Catalans have the better cards, reports “Mundo Deportivo”.
Supposedly, Silva has regularly been toying with a move to FC Barcelona in recent years, but FC Barcelona has always tried in vain. Now the situation is different. According to “Mundo”, the 31-year-old is also willing to accept a salary cut in order to be able to play for Barca.
FC Barcelona only bagged the first official transfer of the summer last week. With Anthony Gordon, the Spanish champions signed a player that FC Bayern was also after. Given the transfer fee of 70 million euros (+10 million), the record champions backed down and left the field to the Catalans.
