Main target of Paris Saint-Germain during this transfer period, Bernardo Silva will. well leave Manchester City. But, the Portuguese international is not at all close to PSG, Marca announcing it in Saudi Arabia.
When Manchester City won the Champions League by defeating Inter, several French journalists revealed that Bernardo Silva wanted to leave the Cityzens and that the French champions were on pole. But less than two weeks later, the Portuguese midfielder has never seemed so far from Paris Saint-Germain, while Luis Enrique had validated this profile. Marca indicate in recent hours that the transfer of Bernardo Silva to the Saudi Pro League is almost complete.
After Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and N’Golo Kanté, another world star is preparing to settle in Saudi Arabia, probably for a record transfer. Bernardo Silva still has two years of contract with the winner of the C1 and there is no doubt that Manchester City will not make any gifts knowing perfectly well the financial means now available to Saudi clubs. Estimated at 80 million by Transfemarkt, the value of the Portuguese midfielder could far exceed this amount, with, for the player, a salary that only this country can now offer.
Bernardo Silva in Saudi Arabia rather than PSG?

If this transfer of the 28-year-old player to Saudi Arabia is confirmed, it would be a huge snub for Luis Campos and even more so for PSG. Bernardo Silva was almost the top priority for Paris. And the deal seemed all the more easily achievable since the Portuguese attacking midfielder’s agent is none other than Jorge Mendes, with whom the Paris Saint-Germain sports adviser has the best relations in the world. The information from Marca has already stirred up the supporters of the French champions, who hope that all this is false and that Bernardo Silva will finally sign in Paris. If this were not the case, then the anger, which is already great on the side of the Parc des Princes, could go up a notch and this time target Parisian leaders who have been walled in silence for months.
