Bernardo Silva Transfer from Manchester City to FC Barcelona

There were speculations in past summers about Barcelona's interest in acquiring Bernardo Silva. However, he is still with Manchester City.

Bernardo Silva has always dreamed of playing for Real Madrid or Barcelona. However, this might never happen as he recently renewed his contract with Manchester City because neither Real Madrid nor Barcelona decided to pursue him decisively.

Barcelona continues to show interest in Bernardo Silva. However, due to financial fair play rules and the club's high wage bill, the possibility of the offensive midfielder from Manchester City moving to Catalonia is becoming more distant. Barcelona needs to resolve their financial issues quickly, as the clause allowing them to sign the player for 60 million euros expires at the end of the month. If this deadline passes, Barcelona would need to negotiate with the English club, which is unwilling to let go of Bernardo Silva, making the deal unlikely.

FC Barcelona has been interested in Bernardo Silva for several years. Despite the rumors of a potential move, a transfer will not happen this summer. FC Barcelona does not have the necessary funds to acquire the offensive midfielder from Manchester City, who is under contract until 2026. Although the player has a 60 million euro release clause until July 1st, FC Barcelona has not resolved its salary issues to finance the operation. The club has given up on this transfer.

Guardiola was also asked to speak on the future of Bernardo Silva, who has long been linked with a move to Barca. There has been a lot of talk but they have never called us, Guardiola explained. The Barca sports director has never called. He is a gem of a player and I hope he stays. The City midfielder is currently set to remain at the club until 2026, as per his contract, but may look for an earlier move if an offer comes knocking.

Bernardo Silva has been linked with a move to Barcellona in recent seasons, but no official contact has been made with Manchester City. Coach Pep Guardiola hopes that Silva remains with Manchester City.

Bernardo Silva has long expressed his wish to play for Barcelona. However, Barcelona's financial situation will likely necessitate the sale of some first-team assets before they can sign Silva this summer, especially given his hefty release clause.

Bernardo Silva has a clause in his contract that might facilitate a transfer to Barcelona. The clause can be activated with a payment of about 58 million euros, which can be paid in three installments. Barcelona remains interested in the Manchester City midfielder's future.

TV3 revealed a clause in Bernardo Silva's contract that allows the price of his exit to be paid in three installments, which amounts to 50 million pounds (about 58 million euros). This would facilitate the payment of the Portuguese midfielder from Manchester City, who added that asterisk to his clause when he renewed with the citizens until 2026.

Bernardo Silva, who also appeals to Luis Campos and PSG, seems rather favorable to a transfer to Catalonia. And Barça does not want to miss the opportunity to recruit a player of international stature for 58 million euros (his clause). The player seems to do everything to facilitate Barça as TV3 mentioned a clause during the extension of Bernardo Silva at City allowing Barcelona to pay his clause in three times (19 million per year).

Barcelona has been interested in Bernardo Silva for many years. The president of Barcelona, Joan Laporta, has prepared a financial plan to bring the player from Manchester City to Barcelona, respecting the strict limits that Barcelona has for signings due to the delicate state of the club's treasury. The last contract renewal of the player with Manchester City, in August of last year, included a termination clause of 50 million pounds, approximately 59 million euros. Barcelona could reach this amount in a phased manner, with the payment in three tranches of 20 million euros each being a possible solution for the deal to proceed.

Bernardo Silva is expected to be a key player in the upcoming summer transfer window. There have been rumors of a possible move for several summers now, with clubs like Paris Saint-Germain and FC Barcelona as the main contenders. In recent weeks, the trend has been more favorable to the Catalans, as it is towards Camp Nou that the Portuguese international would like to continue his career. However, the disastrous financial situation of the Catalan club, not helped by the financial fair play of La Liga, makes the arrival of the player particularly complicated. Even though his release clause of 50 million pounds - about 58 million euros - is quite affordable and low for a player of this quality, it is still too much for the Catalans.

Bernardo Silva (Al Hilal) would rather go to Barcelona, but the question is whether he fits into the plans of the new coach of the Catalans, Hansi Flick.

Barcelona are long-term admirers of Silva but have never been in a strong enough financial position to make an offer, while PSG have also appreciated the Portuguese's talents for some time. In previous windows, Manchester City had valued Silva at close to £80m and had no desire to sell.

Bernardo Silva, a key player in Pep Guardiola's tactical project, is likely to leave Manchester City at the end of this season. Barcelona seems to be the player's preferred destination.

Mentioned as a potential transfer target for Barcelona.

Bernardo Silva is showing interest in moving to FC Barcelona. He has visited Barcelona to get a feel for the city and life there. He has even set a deadline for his case to be resolved before Euro 2024, which is by 14 July at the latest. If Barça doesn't make a move, he will discuss with another club capable of handling his transfer.

FC Barcelona had also expressed its desire to recruit the 29-year-old player. In recent weeks, Spanish press information was more in favor of a signature in Barcelona. Silva had inquired from João Félix and João Cancelo, loaned at Barcelona this season, and their positive words would have reinforced Silva's idea of ​​settling in Catalonia, even if it means sacrificing part of his Manchester salary.

Bernardo Silva's main objective is to play for Barcelona in the 2024-25 season. However, there are conditions for this transfer to occur: the return of the 1:1 rule, a big sale, and a competitive offer that, even if it's lower, isn't far behind those of Bayern and PSG. Last summer, Silva renewed his contract with Manchester City but included a release clause of 50 million pounds, approximately 58 million euros. This amount was thought with Barcelona in mind if LaLiga allowed him to return to the famous 1:1 rule - each euro in sale allows another to be spent.

Bernardo Silva is in a disagreement with Manchester City and has already communicated his intention to transfer to Barcelona from the next season.

According to the Spanish press Mundo Deportivo, PSG also wants to 'snatch' Bernardo Silva from Barcelona. The Portuguese midfielder from City, with a buyout clause of 60 million euros, is the kind of player Xavi Hernández dreams of. The Spaniard sees in him the perfect experienced player he can combine with young upcoming stars like Gavi, Cubarsí and of course, Yamal. It is known that Bernardo has a great desire to play in Barcelona, as confirmed by his national team colleague Joao Felix, so PSG risks losing another battle with the Catalans.

PSG not only intends to disarm Barça by trying to sign one of its big stars, but it has also interfered by Bernardo Silva. The Portuguese midfielder from City, with a clause of 60 million, is the differential player that Xavi Hernández dreams of. However, the French club is also in the fight to get his services. Bernardo Silva has never hidden his desire to wear the Azulgrana. Now it remains to be seen whether Barça can go strong for him and fulfill his dream or opt for the proposal of the Parisian team.

Bernardo Silva, a key player in Pep Guardiola's tactical project, could be leaving Manchester City at the end of the season. According to the Daily Mirror, the probability of Silva's departure in June is increasingly high. Last year, several top European clubs attempted to acquire him, and this summer seems to be the right time for a change of jersey. Bernardo has reportedly decided to end his experience in England, giving his general approval to Barcelona. However, the Blaugrana, still dealing with financial problems from recent years, will first need to sell some players from their squad to finalize the operation. This season, the '94 class has put together a total of 42 appearances in all competitions with 11 goals and 5 assists to his credit.

Bernardo Silva has decided to leave Manchester City this summer and complete a long-awaited move to Barcelona.

Bernardo Silva, who is the cover star of the two main sports newspapers in Catalonia, Sport and Mundo Deportivo, is being seen as a reachable dream for Barcelona. Last summer, much was written about this deal, which has been desired for several years, but it didn't materialize. The Catalan club hasn't given up, and Sport writes that the Portuguese is eager to sign for Barcelona. Last summer, when a departure was already being discussed, Bernardo renewed his contract for precisely one year to have 'one more chance' and asked for a lower clause. He wants to leave, and Barça has no rival, whereas before PSG was also being mentioned. The French club is already restructuring itself to play without Mbappé, and the Portuguese is not in their plans, despite his good relationship with adviser Luís Campos. Barcelona 'only' has to pay the release clause of 60 million euros, and Bernardo, according to the newspaper, is willing to lower his salary, which is about 10 million euros in England. The awareness of a finished cycle in Manchester and the desire to change air, having family in Barcelona, help the decision. Mundo Deportivo also analyzes the way for the transfer to happen, namely the 1:1 rule of fair Play salary (each euro that enters through a sale can be used for signings): that is, someone has to leave for Bernardo to enter, and sold for at least 60 million. The drop in the clause was precisely 'a sign' that Bernardo gave to Barcelona that he would wait another year for the balance of accounts in Catalonia.

Bernardo Silva is reportedly keen on leaving Manchester City at the end of the season to join FC Barcelona. He is even willing to accept a pay cut to facilitate the transfer. Barcelona is planning to pay the 58 million Euro clause for Silva, considering him a strategic recruit.

Bernardo Silva has expressed his desire to move to FC Barcelona. Despite interest from Paris Saint-Germain, Silva's preference is to join the Spanish club. He has sought information about the club and life in Barcelona from Ilkay Gündogan, his teammate at Manchester City, and others. He has also visited Barcelona several times in recent months. Silva is willing to take a pay cut to facilitate his move to Barcelona. Manchester City is not expected to put up much resistance in the transfer negotiations.

Bernardo Silva, who is close to turning 30, has been an important player for Manchester City, but his time at the club, where he has been since 2017, could be coming to an end. Catalunya Ràdio reports that the Portuguese international wants to move to Barcelona next season. His release clause, according to the Spanish press, is 58 million euros, a high but not exorbitant amount for a club that aims to remain competitive in La Liga and the Champions League. For this transfer to happen, the Catalans will need to make a significant sale to balance the club's unstable finances.

Une bataille se profile entre le FC Barcelone et le PSG pour Bernardo Silva, sous contrat avec Manchester City jusqu’en 2026. Le Sunday Star évoque ce dimanche l’avenir du Portugais dans ses pages intérieures. Le tabloïd anglais rappelle que pour s’offrir le Portugais, les clubs n’auront qu’à débourser 50M€, le prix de sa clause de départ. Un prix relativement bas pour un joueur de ce calibre.

Bernardo Silva has decided to leave Manchester City this summer and has his heart set on a transfer to Barcelona, according to a report from Spain. Silva, 29, signed a new City contract last summer, extending his terms to 2026, which was said to contain a release clause of €50 million. That figure might be achievable for the cash-strapped Catalans if they manage to offload some players this summer. The Portugal playmaker has got family in Barcelona and recently his international team-mate Joao Felix revealed that Bernardo had already resolved to wear Lionel Messi’s famous No.10 shirt at Camp Nou. Felix, on loan at Barca from Atletico Madrid, also called on his current club to make the signing happen.

Bernardo Silva has been repeatedly linked with a transfer to Barcelona for a number of seasons now and even came close to making the move the summer before last. This summer he could finally make the move with his Portugal international teammate Joao Felix heavily pushing for his signature. Silva is well known to be a big fan of Barcelona and pushed hard for a transfer to the club in the summer of 2022. Barcelona and Man City were in negotiations over the move, with Blaugrana coach Xavi wanting the 29-year-old to replace Frenkie de Jong, who had been put up for sale by the club. In the end De Jong refused to move and a deal for Bernardo could not be closed with City.
