City sets position regarding Barça's interest in Bernardo Silva

The Manchester City attained to resolve this summer one of the 'serials' pending in his staff with the renewal of Bernardo Silva. The international Portuguese signed until June of 2026, a year more than the stipulated in his previous agreement. In this regard, Ferran Soriano, CEO of the group 'sky blue', ensured that the group directed by Pep Guardiola never feared by the possible signing of the luso by the FC Barcelona, in spite of the rumours.

"Of here it did not go out at all. We do not do noise, does not proceed of here. If there are 10 covers that say that Bernardo Silva will go to the Barça, did there and there was not at all that say", sentenced Soriano. Bernardo was one of the favourite players of Xavi Hernández to reinforce the staff culé, but his high price (around 80 million euros) were very far of the possibilities of a Barça that follows prioritising the signings 'low cost' by his problems with the 'Fair Play' financial.

Bernardo did not have doubts on his renewal with the City

Further of the express wish of Silva to abandon the City in the summer of 2022, when the rumours on the interest of the Barça were stronger, this year the mediocentro did not doubt in accepting the new offer of the group 'citizen' after winning the triplete.

The success does you want to more and this club gives me the opportunity to follow winning", expressed Bernardo after signing his new agreement.

For the Barça, the signing of the luso always depended on some important sale (Raphinha, Frenkie of Jong), in addition to pactar a wage to the drop with the one of Lisbon. This season, the '20' great 3 goals and 3 assistances in 13 parties, a production underneath of his usual average conditioned in good measure by the absences of Kevin Of Bruyne (lesionado) and Ílkay Gündogan, the one who himself decanted by the culés this summer after finalising agreement with the City.

The Barça no descarta go to by Bernardo Silva in 2024

Still asi, the Barça does not close of the all the door to Bernardo Silva in 2024, knowingly of the insistence of Xavi for adding a reinforcement 'top' for the centre of the field. In fact, reinforce the medullary is one of the aims of face to the next season, although the priority is fichar a defensive pivote, seen the seen in the toneless start of Barcelona season. In any case, the financial problems force to look for signings 'low cost' the year entrante, to the equal that in the last market.
