The journalists of Sport and of Mundo Deportivo no longer have to know what to write. For a year, they have been regularly laying papers on Bernardo Silva (28). It’s no secret that the Portuguese is very popular with Xavi. A year ago, he was also ready to join the Blaugrana ranks. But the financial problems of the Culés had not made it possible to go through with the operation. A blessing in disguise for the former Monaco player, who won the hat-trick with the Citizens.
A nice parting gift for the supporters. Because this summer, a departure is more than ever envisaged by the Lusitanian international. After several years of good and loyal service to the residents of the Etihad Stadium, he wishes to take up a new challenge. We thought it would be in Paris. For a year, the Ile-de-France residents have dreamed of enlisting him. And they had good hopes of achieving this since Bernardo Silva is one of the foals of Jorge Mendes, the agent who could sell anyone to PSG.
Barça’s detailed plan
But this track was not at the end. The champions of France have thrown in the towel. A boon for residents of Camp Nou who still want to recruit Bernardo Silva. We thought it would be complicated because of the financial problems affecting the club. But Xavi wants it and his desires are orders. The leaders want to do everything to give him the player he has been dreaming of for so long.
If they have very little money to spend, the Culés have ideas. Sport thus details the new proposal that Barça intends to make for the Portuguese. Thus, Barça is counting on the sales of Franck Kessié to Al Ahly in Saudi Arabia and Ousmane Dembélé to PSG (it will bring in 25 million euros, note). The leaders are also betting on a transfer of Clément Lenglet to bring in some money. The Frenchman is courted by AC Milan and Saudi Arabia.
The Catalans believe in it
Finally, the scenario developed by the Barcelonans also includes the resale of certain shares of Barça Studios. Sport specifies that the Catalans, who want to offer an evolutionary salary to the player (low the first season then it would be more important afterwards, editor’s note), intend to offer City 65 million euros to which it will be necessary to add 10 million euros in bonus very easily attainable. We would approach the 80 million euros requested by the champions of England.
Barca are very optimistic and believe they have a better chance of succeeding as the two clubs have a good relationship. This, even if there have been some tensions recently between Xavi and Pep Guardiola. The Culés are also counting on Bernardo Silva to push with their leaders, who have already been warned that he is for a departure. We are still far from the end of this soap opera. What still feed a few days (or more) the Spanish gazettes.
