Bernardo Silva, a signing that 'touches' the impossible for Barça in 2022

The time runs against of the FC Barcelona regarding the possible incorporation of Bernardo Silva and the idea to see him with the Barcelona T-shirt seems to remain like a dream, at least by this summer. To date, the Manchester City has not received any offer from the City Condal by part of the Barcelona entity, neither neither is had to put economic eases. The operation seems allocated to not to produce.

Xavi Hernández had asked the incorporation of the international with Portugal by several sportive reasons, place considers him like one of the best midfield players of the actuality, but at all times knew that it was conditioned by the economic situation. It would be very difficult to carry him to the Spotify Camp Nou without that produced a big sale (like the one of Frenkie of Jong), conscious of the high pretences of the Manchester City, that rondan the ninety or one hundred million euros.

The culés had in favour that Bernardo Silva wants to change of airs and that the idea to play under the orders of Xavi attracts him, but at all times left clear that if abandoba the Etihad Stadium wanted to do it in good terms and with an offer that benefited the interests of the City, that are not few. The English club is conscious that it did not go to give to the footballer in no case, place goes in in the selecto group of indispensable players for Pep Guardiola.

The economic factor

One of the keys to understand the 'impossible' of the signing of Bernardo Silva by the Barça are the economic pretences of the Manchester City, that will not leave to go out to his star under any price. Recently desvelaba that they had refused an offer of the Paris Saint-Germain of eighty million euros. A figure that from the Spotify Camp Nou neither pose . As they aim from England, lyou 'citizens' would ask between 90 and 100.

And it is that, with agreement until 2025 and being very utilixado by Guardiola, in Manchester understand that they can not put it in the same level that the players that finish to sell a year before it won his agreements, remembering the cases of Raheem Sterling to Chelsea by 56M and Gabriel Jesús by 52M to the Arsenal, or the recent exit of Ferran Torres to the Barça by 65M between fixed and variables. Silva is a stair by on.

The time, against

Another point that does not play in favour of the interests of the club of the City Condal is the little time of anticipation with which the Barcelona are treating the operation. To fault of two weeks so that it finish the market of signings, there is not offer. The Manchester City does not have news of the culés further of the rumours and informations that have produced , especially, in the last week.

The City does not go him to sell by less than what costs, but neither if it does not have a spare for his position. This do not go it to achieve in the straight final of the market of signings... By what even descartarían sell him with so little margin of manoeuvre. As it has happened in previous cases, will not reinforce to another team (in this case the Barça) to weaken his without having an alternative.
