PSG has often ruled the transfer market by offering colossal salaries that almost no club could compete with. But Saudi Arabia has entered the transfer window, and Paris could lose in a more than decisive case.
Some European clubs have frequently blamed Qatar for blowing up football by allowing the Paris Saint Germain to offer salaries sometimes deemed indecent to the players. This did not prevent the French club, owned by QSI since 2011, from shopping without worries and being able to field the trio made up of Neymar, Mbappe and Messi. This summer, Nasser Al-Khelaifi wants to turn the page. However, the Parisian president still intends to recruit a few nuggets, and in particular Bernardo Silva. The Portuguese international Manchester City is the number priority of Luis Campos, a choice validated by the future Parisian coach, Luis Enrique. On paper, the PSG is able to pay the transfer amount to the Cityzens, and for the salary, this must be able to do so. Except that Saudi Arabia has just made a colossal offer to Bernardo Silva.
Bernardo Silva drives Saudi Arabia crazy
While Manchester City lost Ilkay Gundogan, left for FC Barcelona, Pep Guardiola wants his leaders to make a big financial effort to prevent Bernardo Silva from leaving for Paris Saint-Germain. But, for the Champions League-winning club, the danger may not come from the French champions, but from the Saudi Pro League. This Sunday, the Daily Star explain that while Manchester City pays 175,000 euros per week to the Portuguese player, the latter would have received a Saudi offer of nearly one million euros per week. Insane competition for the English club, but also for PSG, unable to align themselves with this kind of proposal.

According to the English tabloid, the Saudi club that made this offer to Bernardo Silva is Al-Hilal. A team that has already recruited Kalidou Koulibaly and Ruben Neves, the compatriot of Bernardo Silva. Of course, neither PSGneither Manchester City will not outbid the offer fromSaudi Arabia, but the two clubs hope that the 28-year-old Portuguese international will make a sporting choice first regarding the rest of his career. Because financially, the two clubs are clearly knocked out. It is now at Bernardo Silva to decide, when on the side of the Paris Saint Germainwe still seem to have confidence in this file.
