FC Barcelona still dreams of Bernardo Silva. If the Blaugranas are about to see Ousmane Dembélé join the French capital, the Catalan management now has a priority on this summer transfer window: to recruit the Portuguese international, currently in the colors of Manchester City. To do this, the Culers, faced with financial problems, are busy finding a suitable solution.
If a daring plan has notably been put forward by Mundo Deportivothis Friday, Sport indicates in its edition of the day that the reigning Spanish champions are preparing to make a final offer. A final attempt to enlist the one who sees his contract run until June 2025. With this in mind, the Spanish daily argues that Barça should offer Skyblues a loan with a mandatory purchase option, with the Portuguese player’s endorsement .
Barça has not said its last word for Silva!
At the same time, the Barcelona board hopes that the player and his agent, Jorge Mendes, will manage to exert certain pressure to come to an agreement with the English champion. Mundo Deportivo specifies, in this respect, that Barça is rather confident, given that Pep Guardiola had undertaken, last season, to let him leave in the event of a good offer. Finally, if this last proposal is rejected by the Citizens, Sport evokes that Barça could pay the transfer of Bernardo Silva if a big sale occurs by the end of the transfer window.
If this option is not preferred, the Catalan high circles could formulate a maximum offer of up to 65 million euros, based on future sales, including that of Ousmane Dembélé. Author of 7 goals and 8 assists in 55 matches in all competitions, Bernardo Silva, who has never hidden his intention to join Barça, could therefore soon settle in Catalonia. A file which remains, despite everything, complex, especially since Manchester City does not seem ready to give up its star. One thing is certain, this soap opera should animate the last hours of the transfer window…
