Despite the complexity of a transfer, both the player and his management (Gestifute) around Jorge Mendes are optimistic that Man City will show willingness not to put any obstacles in his way. Silva is said to have already received approval from coach Pep Guardiola if a suitable offer arrives. The Portuguese has long dreamed of a move to Barcelona. Unlike in previous years, he submitted his wish to those responsible for the “Citizens” with a request for prompt fulfillment. For a future at Barça, Silva rejected other offers. And Barcelona, who are said to have been working on the player for three years, are now exploring the possibilities of an implementation.

To add momentum to things, the left-footer, once trained at Benfica, expects the Spanish giants to take a step towards his current employers and do everything in their power to secure a transfer. Silva does not want to wait until the end of the transfer window because otherwise he will consider other options – such as PSG and from Saudi Arabia – and Manchester City will need time to find an adequate replacement for him.
Adviser Mendes made the Silva personnel palatable to those responsible in Barcelona, which was definitely welcomed by coach Xavi. Because Silva is too expensive with its current market value of 80 million euros, Barcelona are considering a loan with a subsequent obligation to buy – mainly so that there are no further problems with financial fair play.
Will Man City also lose Bernardo Silva to FC Barcelona after Ilkay Gündogan?
The English champions Manchester City have already had to let a top performer go this summer in Ilkay Gündogan. Free transfer to the Catalans. In return, Mateo Kovacic was signed by Chelsea for €29.1m. Barcelona, on the other hand, had recently signed the talented striker Vitor Roque for 2024 and a transfer fee of 30 million euros.
For the coming season, free transfer Bilbao defender Iñigo Martínez joined DFB international Gündogan. “We’re a better team than Real Madrid and individually we’re better than our rivals by a certain margin. I’m very happy with the team we’re building,” said president Joan Laporta at Mundo Deportivo. The European Football Union (UEFA) recently fined the club €500,000 for violating the rules of financial fair play between 2019 and 2022.
