Bernardo Silva is Dying to Go to Barcelona
Looking ahead to the next season and pondering how to bolster the squad, FC Barcelona reportedly has already initiated talks with the camp of Manchester City winger Bernardo Silva, according to Diario SPORT.
The Portuguese player, who has long been on the radar of the Blaugrana, was linked during the winter and summer transfer windows of 2023, a player who has caught the eye of Xavi Hernández and could come into play if the Terrassa native stays on the Catalan bench.
Due to Barcelona's financial situation, they will need to negotiate Silva's $50 million release clause with a Manchester City that has shown willingness to accommodate Silva's request to leave. This will likely involve the 1-1 rule, meaning the Blaugrana will have to make a significant sale to bring in the Portuguese player.
As for Bernardo, he has always shown excitement about the prospect, even asking different teammates about the city and the club with hopes of joining FC Barcelona. Will the Portuguese fulfill his dream and don the Blaugrana colors?
