Ready to leave Manchester City after the successful treble this season, Bernardo Silva is not insensitive to the interest of Paris Saint-Germain. The attacking midfielder has started encouraging discussions with the capital club. But its leaders will do nothing to facilitate this transfer.
If Bernardo Silva wishes to leave Manchester City, it is obviously not linked to his sporting situation. The attacking midfielder was one of the great architects of the Citizens hat-trick and is favored by manager Pep Guardiola. In reality, it is rather his lack of fulfillment in England which explains his desires elsewhere. The Portuguese therefore did not close the door to Paris Saint-Germain when his compatriot Luis Campos contacted him.

It is rumored that the football adviser has started positive discussions with Bernardo Silva. And that Manchester City would be ready to transfer their player on the condition of recovering a suitable amount. But as you might expect, there are many obstacles for Paris Saint-Germain. First of all, even if FC Barcelona does not have the means to compete, the champion of France is dealing with a serious competitor, namely the Saudi club Al-Hilal.
And to make matters worse, the Mancunian club has just sent a new extension offer to its attacking midfielder under contract until 2025. Manchester City hopes to retain Bernardo Silva and prevent him from landing at Paris Saint-Germain. Indeed, the Citizens do nothing to facilitate discussions with the resident of the Parc des Princes. According to the daily Le Parisien, negotiations are not advanced between the two clubs.
PSG refuses to outbid
It must be said that Manchester City would have refused the last offer from Paris Saint-Germain, the Goal media understands. This may already be the end of the file since the Ile-de-France management, for its image and to respect financial fair play, no longer wishes to overpay the transfers and salaries of its recruits. The Parisians have set themselves a limit that is apparently too low in the eyes of the Champions League winner. Under these conditions, Luis Campos will find it difficult to attract his priority.
