DBasia.news – Bernardo Silva’s transfer must end anticlimactically. The Portuguese player chose to stay at Manchester City.
Silva had become one of Barcelona’s main targets this summer. His presence is highly desired by the Blaugrana coach, Xavi Hernandez.
Like a tit for tat, Silva is also interested in moving to Barcelona. He has even asked Manchester City’s blessing to be allowed to leave.
Barcelona’s opportunity to have Silva is increasingly open after Manchester City are willing to let the player go. Pep Guardiola, who had rejected this transfer, has also been willing to lose it.
But the situation is complicated as Manchester City have set a price of around 100 million euros. Barcelona’s attempts to ask for a discount do not appear to have received a positive response.
According to El Chiringuito’s report, Barcelona have given up on signing Silva this summer. They are now focused on finding ways to register Jules Kunde to LaLiga.
At almost the same time, Silva has buried his dream of moving to Barcelona. He has given certainty to Manchester City to stay.
Silva’s desire was in fact welcomed by Manchester City. The Citizens are even ready to give him a new contract with a salary increase.
