Portuguese playmaker Bernardo Silva is reportedly keen on joining Barcelona from Manchester City in the 2023 summer transfer window.
According to a report by Spanish publication SPORT, Barcelona’s hopes of signing Bernardo Silva have risen. The Manchester City playmaker is keen on joining the Blaugrana and is willing to push for a summer move. But he will soon issue an ultimatum to Barcelona to launch the offensive or miss the boat to land him.
Bernardo Silva has established himself as one of the foremost playmakers in the Premier League in the last half a decade. The Portuguese international joined Manchester City as a promising young attacker and has gone from strength to strength at the Etihad. And he has been in the form of his life for the last 18 months.
The 28-year-old has been a pivotal figure for Manchester City during this period and is enjoying a solid 2022/23 season. Silva has two goals and five assists in 22 appearances. But the player remains open to leaving Manchester City to embark on a new adventure by joining Barcelona.
Silva wanted to join Barcelona in the summer transfer window. But a move did not materialise as the Blaugrana could not sell Frenkie de Jong. However, Barcelona might be able to afford to sign the former AS Monaco attacker despite de Jong’s presence following Gerard Pique’s retirement.
Recent reports have claimed that Barcelona will prioritise signing Silva in the 2023 summer transfer window. But while the Catalan giants will have enough room in the salary cap, it is unclear if they will be able to afford to pay €80 million to sign him. It is worth remembering that Barcelona’s financial woes have not ended.
Manchester City will not stand in Silva’s way if he wants to join the Blaugrana. And while the 28-year-old playmaker is keen on joining Barcelona, he will not wait forever. The Portuguese international wants his future sorted after the 2022 FIFA World Cup to approach the rest of the season with a clear head.
Speaking of the World Cup, Barcelona will monitor the Manchester City playmaker at the month-long extravaganza in Qatar. It will be interesting to see if the Catalan giants step up their efforts to sign Silva or if he remains at Manchester City beyond next summer.
