Many teams, including PSG and Barcelona, have shown interest in Bernardo Silva.
Fabrizio Romano, a transfer expert, revealed the most recent information to GIVEMESPORT exclusively, which has significantly increased Manchester City‘s chances of keeping Bernardo Silva.
One of Pep Guardiola’s brightest stars, the 82-cap Portugal international played an impressive 55 times during their historic 2022–23 treble-winning season.
Bernardo Silva: recent Manchester City signings.
While The Times reports that new terms have been presented to the midfielder as the Manchester-based team hopes to tie him down for the near future, ESPN claims that Silva is set to reject both Barelona and Paris Saint-Germain.
The English heavyweights cannot afford to lose Silva as well after already losing Riyad Mahrez to Al-Ahli and Ilkay Gundogan to Barcelona, respectively. They will be eager to keep Silva at the club for as long as possible.
He reportedly wanted to join Barça badly at the beginning of August, but the Spanish team’s financial limitations prevented a deal from happening.
According to Manchester Evening News, Kylian Mbappé is ‘pushing’ his club, PSG, to sign Silva because the forward is eager to reunite with his former Monaco teammate.
The 22-man traveling squad for City’s UEFA Super Cup match against Sevilla, according to BBC Sport, has raised questions about Silva’s future in Manchester.
Silva has two years left on his £150,000 per week contract and has scored 55 goals and 59 assists in 308 games for his current team, but he could still decide to leave the Premier League this summer.
Regarding Manchester City and Bernardo Silva, what did Fabrizio Romano say?
The transfer expert asserted that a new contract on the blue side of Manchester for the talented 29-year-old is now “just a matter of time.”.
The player will stay put despite all the rumors of a transfer away, according to the two primary suitors for the Portuguese star’s services, PSG and Barcelona.
“Yeah, I see Bernardo Silva signing a new contract at Manchester City,” said Romano in an exclusive interview with GIVEMESPORT. Since PSG had spent two months trying to sign Bernardo Silva, I stated two weeks ago that Man City had communicated very clearly with both PSG and Barcelona, informing them that there would be no chance for negotiations and that the player would remain in Barcelona. I believe it’s only a matter of time because they later began talking to Bernardo about the new contract. “.
What lies ahead for Manchester City?
According to MailOnline, Kevin De Bruyne will now be sidelined for three to four months, so City will likely step up their pursuit of West Ham United star Lucas Paqueta by making a new offer, according to Football Insider.
Paqueta, who assisted on 12 goals last season across all competitions, could provide “something special” to Guardiola’s squad in De Bruyne’s absence, according to transfer insider Dean Jones, who recently spoke to GIVEMESPORT.
Globo Esporte, a Brazilian publication, reports that Guardiola’s City have already made a £70 million offer, though talkSPORT claims an additional £25 million will be required to entice him away from the London Stadium.
Guardiola is already concerned about how his team – especially Erling Haaland – will fare without their ever-present magician after losing someone of De Bruyne’s stature so early in the season.
