According to ‘Mundo Deportivo’, Bernardo Silva is tired of waiting for an offer from Barcelona to sign him this summer. The Catalan giants cannot afford his transfer. As a result, the Portuguese is likely to renew his contract with Manchester City.
Barcelona have already completed Ilkay Gundogan’s transfer this summer. The German midfielder played a key role in Manchester City’s Champions League success. He arrived at Camp Nou as a free agent.
Bernardo Silva, who hit it off with the 32-year-old at the Etihad Stadium, is another of the Catalan club’s main targets. However, they would have to offer a large fee for his transfer as his current contract expires in 2025.
According to ‘Mundo Deportivo’, the Portuguese is tired of waiting for the Catalan side to make an offer for him this summer. The La Liga team have already submitted a loan offer but the English club considered it insufficient.
The playmaker spoke to Pep Guardiola about accepting his move to Spain but the Spanish coach let the board know that Barcelona would have to present a good offer to let him leave.
As Xavi Hernandez’s side cannot afford his transfer due to their Financial Fair Play problems, Silva is very likely to renew his contract with his current club.
🚨 Bernardo Silva has asked Pep Guardiola and Manchester City to let him go this summer. 🇵🇹✈️
