Bernardo Silva was linked with a move away from Manchester City in recent months, with Barcelona showing interest in him.
Manchester City playmaker Bernardo Silva was recently linked with Barcelona. And a report by Mundo Deportivo via Sport Witness has claimed that the treble winner is still thinking about a move to the Catalan club.
Barcelona are one of the biggest clubs in the world. So, it is no surprise that Silva is keen on joining them in the near future. It will be interesting to see if Manchester City are willing to sanction his departure in the coming months.
Barcelona have already signed one player from Manchester City, with Ilkay Gundogan joining them in a Bosman move this past summer. Meanwhile, the Portuguese international has established himself as an indispensable asset for Portugal, and he has been a key player for Manchester City.
He has helped the Premier League champions win several major trophies, including completing the treble last season, during his time at the club and remains a key player for them. The 29-year-old is versatile enough to operate in a number of positions across the midfield and is the ideal utility player for the English club.
Manchester City will compete for major trophies this season, and they need players like Silva to compete against the European elite. They cannot afford to lose the 29-year-old just yet, and they are unlikely to sanction his departure midway through the campaign.
Meanwhile, Barcelona could definitely use more quality in the attacking areas, and Silva will add goals and assists in the final third. The Portuguese international is at the peak of his powers, and he could make an immediate impact at Camp Nou.
There is no doubt that Silva has the technical attributes and qualities to thrive in Spanish football, and he could be a real force for Barcelona. He has already proven himself in the Premier League, winning multiple trophies with Manchester City. He could now be open to trying out a new challenge at this stage of his career.
