Bernardo Silva, big disaster in sight for PSG

This is Paris Saint-Germain’s number one priority, and Luis Campos has been working on this file for months, Bernardo Silva is announced as close to the French champions. The scenario seemed clear, but on the side of Manchester City we decided to reverse the table.

On June 10, after Manchester City’s victory against Inter in the Champions League final, TF1 blew up social networks. One of their journalists had indicated that Bernardo Silva had requested an exit voucher during this transfer window, while the Portuguese player is linked until 2025 with the English club. A decision which intervened where the former Monegasque was announced as very close to the Paris Saint Germain, the capital club having placed an initial offer of 70 million euros. A refused proposal, which came before the financial attack from Saudi Arabia. But, more than the Saudi clubs, the danger is growing for PSG, and this danger is called…Manchester City.

Pep Guardiola enters the Bernardo Silva file

A few hours ago, the departure of Riyadh Mahrez to Saudi Arabia, for a salary of 25 million euros per year, is mentioned. Pep Guardiola has warned his leaders, if Mahrez leaves, which he does not want, then we must shield Bernardo Silva no matter the cost. According to Le Parisien, the PSG understood that the negotiations with the leaders of Manchester City will be ” difficult ” because Guardiola really put a lot of pressure on the Citizens board to keep Bernardo Silva at least one more season. Even before the talks officially started, and even if the Portuguese right winger still gives the advantage to the Paris Saint Germainthe tension is already great, because Luis Campos knows that he is expected at the turn.

Last year, the sports adviser of Nasser Al-Khelaifi had himself recognized that the transfer window of PSG had been missed, not being far from putting everything on the back of Antero Henrique. But, getting rid of the latter, Luis Campos plays big in the Bernardo Silva file, a player he knows well since he had brought him to theAS Monaco. Even if confidence is always in order in this transfer from the Parisian side, the rapid signing of Bernardo Silva is no longer relevant, while Luis Enrique wishes to have all of his workforce to go on tour in Japan from July 22. In Paris, and after the fiasco of the quest for the great striker last year, we therefore wanted to quickly complete the operation, and this will not be the case. Each passing week puts greater and greater pressure on Campos, especially as the Ile-de-France daily affirms that if Manchester City ends up accepting the departure of Bernardo Silva, it will be more at FC Barcelona than at PSG.

Bernardo Silva must break the silence

The operation is therefore no longer as clear as announced, and if Paris wants to offer Bernardo Silva it will be necessary to fight and not only by pushing an offer going beyond 80 million euros. As it is difficult to see Manchester City going to clash with Pep Guardiola on this file, the Portuguese player will therefore have to step up to officially say that he wants to leave the North of England and sign for PSG. This is the price to pay to avoid a fiasco that would hurt the champions of France very badly.
