FC Barcelona is planning their squad for the next season and continues to receive offers, both from Spain and abroad. The latest one has been surprising because it was considered a closed case due to past unsuccessful attempts to sign him. We are talking about Bernardo Silva from Manchester City, who has offered his arrival for this summer through the word of his agent, Jorge Mendes.
Bernardo Silva wants to play for Barça
For a long time, Bernardo's intention has been to wear Barça's jersey. He is in love with the club and Catalonia, intending to live there someday. At 30 years old, he considers his time at Manchester City should be concluded this coming summer and is looking for a new team. This possibility has been put on Deco's table, trying to strengthen the midfield.
Valued at about €40 million, Bernardo Silva will not stay in Manchester any longer. He considers it a closed chapter, although he hopes to continue competing at the elite level in Europe. His contract ends on the next June 30, 2026, and he hopes they will make it easy for him to find a new destination, whether it be FC Barcelona or any other team.
Deco responds: Bernardo Silva is not of interest
Madrid-Barcelona has learned that, although this offer has been positively evaluated, the reality is that the case of the Portuguese is considered closed. His performance has declined in recent months, and his position is considered more than covered. There is not much fair play available for next summer, and they do not want to spend a large part of it on a footballer who doesn't fully convince now.
Bernardo Silva had his moments to land at Barça under the direction of Mateu Alemany, but he never took the step. Now, after this time and wanting to leave City, he has offered himself because he knows he will not continue next season.
Deco is clear: a player with Bernardo Silva's conditions is not needed and he will not sign for Barça. He has conveyed this to Jorge Mendes, assuring him that he will not wear the blaugrana jersey and the best thing he can do is look for another destination. He points to Saudi Arabia, where they are preparing a great proposal to convince all parties involved.
Bernardo Silva expected it, he knows his moment to wear Barça's jersey has passed, but he had to try.
