Barcelona continue to work on the arrival of new signings, where Bernardo Silva’s transfer is still a dream. According to ‘Mundo Deportivo’, the ‘Cules’ know that it is complicated to sign him, but Xavi Hernandez insists that his team would aspire to win everything next season with the Portuguese.
Barcelona are still determined to make a leap in quality that will put them back in the fight to win as many titles as possible in the 2023-24 season. Xavi Hernandez believes that this could happen with the signing of Bernardo Silva.
‘Mundo Deportivo’ explained Wednesday that the request that the Catalan giants coach wants so much is the Manchester City player, brand-new champion of the Champions League with the Sky Blues.
Bernardo Silva’s transfer is very complicated, but Barcelona want to try to convince the player with a sporting project more than with an offer that seduces economically and thus to hurry his options.
According to the aforementioned media, the ace up the the ‘Cules’ sleeve is Pep Guardiola’s word. The Cityzens coach would let him leave as long as the Catalan proposal meets the expectations of all parties.
Joan Laporta hinted in interviews to the aforementioned source and ‘Sport’ that “1 right back and 2 midfielders” are still to be signed. In addition, they assure that the desire of the Portuguese is to wear the ‘Cule’ jersey at some point in his career.
In financial terms, the best option for Barcelona is to offer a loan with a compulsory purchase option to be executed in the following season. And not only that, but Jorge Mendes -his representative- has a good relationship with the board of directors.
Bernardo Silva has a contract with Manchester City until June 30th, 2025. At almost 29 years of age and after 6 seasons at the Etihad Stadium, the idea of a change of scenery is increasingly on the midfielder’s mind.
