DBasia.news – In the transfer market this summer, Bernardo Silva became Barcelona’s main target. The Portuguese player has finally given his response.
Rumors of Barcelona’s interest in Silva emerged with the possibility of Frenkie de Jong’s move to Manchester United. The 27-year-old player is considered a worthy replacement.
Silva was silent when asked about rumors of Barcelona’s interest. He chose to focus on carrying out state duties with the Portugal national team in the UEFA Nations League.
After the task was completed, Silva finally made up his mind. He positively welcomed the offer from Barcelona.
According to a report from Diario Sport, Silva has even asked for permission from Pep Guardiola as Manchester City manager. He wants the transfer process to go smoothly.
Silva seems to be the dream midfielder Xavi needs to bring back Barcelona’s big name. He is dissatisfied with the material the players possess.
Despite asking for permission, Guardiola’s response is still unknown. What is clear is that Manchester City are reluctant to let him go for less.
Manchester City is selling Silva at 100 million euros. While Barcelona hope to make up for it with an offer of 40 million euros.
It is possible that Barcelona will increase their offer. But it still depends on the certainty of De Jong’s transfer to Manchester United.
