Courtship by both FC Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain, Bernardo Silva has made his choice. And the news isn’t good for the capital club.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same players are still at play. Nearly a year ago, FC Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain clashed in the transfer market to recruit Bernardo Silva. Led by Luis Campos, the French outfit had the means and desire to sign him, while the Catalans, who were his preference, couldn’t keep up financially. Ultimately, neither club emerged victorious from this duel. It was Manchester City who won out as the Portuguese stayed and even extended his contract until June 2026 with the Sky Blues. Bernardo Silva dreams only of Bar\u00e7a.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A year later, this whole affair reconvenes to play a new game of chess. But this time, the Citizens shouldn’t interfere since the 29-year-old player has clearly expressed his desire to move elsewhere. Aware of his intentions, the English club won’t hold him back, having already set a release clause of \u20ac58 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This amount won’t be a problem for PSG, which will make significant savings with Kylian Mbapp\u00e9’s departure. But losing Mbapp\u00e9, who has previously played with Bernardo Silva during their time at Monaco, is bad news for the French club, which aims to attract the Portuguese. In any case, the French champions have very little chance of convincing him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sport explains that FC Barcelona, still dreaming of signing him regardless of Xavi staying or not, is in pole position and almost alone in the world. Indeed, the Portuguese still prioritizes joining the Spanish league and Barcelona, just like last year. He hasn’t changed his mind. He has even been reinforced in his choice. The former Monaco player, whose family wants a change of scenery after several years in Manchester, has questioned Ilkay G\u00fcndogan, who played with him at City, about the club and life in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has inquired and is ready to make sacrifices. He has done the same with other friends or even his compatriots Jo\u00e3o F\u00e9lix and Jo\u00e3o Cancelo, loaned to the Cul\u00e9s this season. The Catalan media adds that he has visited Barcelona several times in recent months to get a feel and form an opinion. And apparently, he has been convinced and has expressed his desire to sign with FCB. In fact, he is even willing to make significant efforts regarding his salary. He currently earns around \u20ac10 million per year at Manchester City according to Sport. He would accept less in Catalonia to facilitate his arrival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A significant ally for the residents of Camp Nou, who will also need to close one or more sales to finance this operation. But they are hopeful, especially since they believe that the Sky Blues won’t be too tough in negotiations to facilitate the departure of a good soldier like Bernardo Silva. All of this doesn’t bode well for Paris Saint-Germain, which has courted him for several years now. But the Portuguese has made his decision. Unless there is a turnaround or an issue on Barcelona’s side, he will don the Blaugrana jersey in 2024-25.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
