Reports | Manchester City and Barcelona in talks over £65 million move for Bernardo Silva

Following his impressive season at AS Monaco, a lot was expected from Bernardo Silva when he arrived at Manchester City and the attacker has continued to impress since then. Not only has he made well over 250 appearances but the 27-year-old has also contributed to 98 goals along the way, playing a key role as City have won four Premier League titles. That also includes a road to the Champions League final during the 2020/21 season, where Chelsea beat Pep Guardiola’s side.

However, the reporter has revealed that Barcelona would have to stump up at least £65 million in order to get the move over the line which is what is halting any agreement. The La Liga giants are unwilling to pay that sum and value Silva at a much lower fee, with the valuation part of the problem. Furthermore, Jacobs has reported that Silva himself is keen on the move and thus personal terms are said to be not an issue with Barcelona confident on that front.
