Manchester City baller has offered himself to Barcelona, but deal impossible – Romero

As has been the case in each of the last two summer transfer windows, Manchester City ace Bernardo Silva finds himself linked with a move to FC Barcelona yet again.

The Portuguese international has been on the Blaugrana’s radar for a long while now and was even understood to be close to joining last summer. Ultimately, the Catalans’ financial situation meant that the move did not materialise.

Now, Gerard Romero’s Jijantes FC is reporting that Bernardo Silva has once again offered himself to Barcelona hoping to secure a move to Spain. However, as was the case last summer, once again the Blaugrana are in no position to pull off the deal financially.

Silva enjoyed yet another fine season for Manchester City, helping them to a historic treble. The 28-year-old finished with seven goals and eight assists from 55 games across all competitions in 2022/23 for Pep Guardiola’s team.

Silva’s future at the Etihad has been a subject of speculation though with PSG also showing an interest in him, along with Barcelona.

Amidst this, it is now being reported that the 28-year-old has offered himself to Barça but a deal is impossible at this point given the economic conditions at the club as well as the fact that there are other, more important positions that the Blaugrana need to strengthen.

So, if Silva does decide to move on from Manchester City this summer, PSG could end up being the likeliest destination for the playmaker. A transfer to Barcelona, as things stand, is a distant dream.
