According to ‘The Times’, the Parisian club would have gone ahead of Barça by presenting a formal proposal to Manchester City
The will of the Portuguese midfielder is to stop at the Camp Nou and he hopes that Barça will present its offer in the next few days
The negotiation to bring Bernardo Silva to the Camp Nou is a little more complicated. The Manchester City midfielder is the icing on the cake that the Blaugrana team is working on, which is also hurrying up the summer market in search of reinforcing the two full-backs, with Marcos Alonso and Juan Foyth.
To accommodate these three players in the salary limit, the Blaugrana club has to release Sergiño Dest, Memphis and Pierre Emerick Aubameyang. Manchester United, Juventus and Chelsea have been interested in these three players, respectively. Always, assuming that Frenkie de Jong continues in the squad. But the operations have not just closed. Especially painful would be the departure of Aubameyang who does not want to move from Barça and whom Xavi would like to have on his squad.
While the sports management works on the starting chapter, PSG has taken the lead by Bernardo Silva. According to ‘The Times’, the Parisian club would have presented a formal offer of 70 million to Manchester City by the Portuguese midfielder who threatens to complicate the operation.
The offer is still far from the 100 million at which the citizen team had valued Bernardo Silva’s departure, but PSG has already taken the first step to try to bring positions closer together. Barça had planned to present its first offer in the coming days, when it would have closed any of the exits it is working on. And he was designing his strategy with Bernardo Silva’s entourage to try to force the agreement.
The footballer’s intention is still to arrive at the Camp Noubut the irruption of PSG becomes one more obstacle in the negotiation with Manchester City.
