Barcelona is seeking to conclude many strong contracts to strengthen the team under the leadership of Spanish coach Xavi Hernandez, who has agreed to continue as Barcelona’s coach.
Many deals are on Barcelona’s agenda in the summer, especially on the offensive side, which Xavi wants to support with the strongest players to return again and compete for all titles next season.
In light of this, Spanish press reports shed light on Manchester City’s midfield star Bernardo Silva seeking to join the Spanish League next season.
According to the Spanish newspaper “Sport”, Bernardo Silva believes that his time with Manchester City is over and is pressing to leave for the Spanish League in the Mercato next summer.
The Spanish newspaper indicated that many reports had previously linked Silva to joining Real Madrid and Barcelona during the current season, and Silva believes that he has achieved everything with Man City, and his family wants to live elsewhere and would much prefer to join Spain.
The Spanish newspaper said that Silva had previously spoken with Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez a year ago and informed him that he wanted to join Barca when the coach was seeking his opinion about that deal.
The Spanish newspaper explained that the release clause in Silva’s contract amounts to 58 million euros, but Manchester City may negotiate this number if Silva informs them that he prefers to leave and that he is also willing to sacrifice part of his salary in order to help him join Barcelona in the next summer Mercato.
It is noteworthy that Bernardo Silva asked his former colleague Ilkay Gundogan, as well as his compatriots Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo, about playing and living in Barcelona, and he also visited the Catalan city several times in recent months.
