Bernardo Silva’s extension to Manchester City would have come with a release clause. A boon for PSG?
High priority of the summer transfer window of Paris Saint-Germain, Bernardo Silva will not join the club of the capital this summer. The soap opera ended on Wednesday evening with the announcement of the Portuguese international’s contract extension with Manchester City for an additional season, until June 2026.
Yes but now, the former Monegasque would have negotiated a release clause effective from next summer, according to the Spanish media Relevo. This would amount to 50 million pounds, or just over 58 million euros. A sum that should not scare PSG, which was ready to put more than 80 million euros on the table this summer.
PSG had an agreement for this summer, but…
According to information released on Wednesday by Le Parisien, an agreement between all stakeholders had been reached for the transfer of Bernardo Silva to PSG this summer. But the departure of Riyad Mahrez in Saudi Arabia has derailed the deal.
“I’ve had six incredible years at Manchester City and I’m delighted to extend my stay here. said Bernardo Silva after returning. Last season winning the treble was very special and it’s exciting to be part of a team where there is such hunger and passion. Success makes you want more, and this club gives me the opportunity to keep winning. I love the manager, my teammates and the supporters here and hope we can share even more great memories in the years to come. »
