Heavy pressing on Bernardo Silva

Manchester City want a response to their offer to extend Bernardo Silva’s contract as FC Barcelona’s interest in a transfer continues.

Silva has again been linked with a possible move to Catalonia, despite his continued importance to City.

Xavi is looking to add more creativity to his midfield, but City’s €60m asking price would make it almost impossible, due to Barcelona’s financial problems.

Club president Joan Laporta has hinted he is interested in a move for the Portugal international, but the next step is controlled by City.

According to information from DailyMirrorCity have offered Silva a contract extension, with a weekly salary of £300,000 until 2027.

Barça still on the move

Despite City’s confidence to keep Silva, they remain pragmatic about the situation, and could sell, if he refuses to commit his future with the club.

If Silva indicates his desire to leave, FC Barcelona should be challenged by Paris Saint-Germain for the former AS Monaco midfielder.
