Barcelona is close to fixing another luxury reinforcement

After a season of transition and crisis, the first without Lionel Messi, Barcelona are armed with everything and could add another luxurious reinforcement. This is ensured by various European media there was a principle of agreement between the Catalan club and Manchester City for the transfer of Bernardo Silva.

Emerged at Benfica, Silva emigrated to Monaco in 2014 as a platform for the arrival at the City, which in May 2017 acquired him for 50 million euros plus another 30 in variables. With a contract until mid-2025, Barcelona are now willing to put up 55 million to add him to their now stellar squad.

And City?

It will be necessary to see how Manchester City will behave if this decline finally materializes. The European markets are open until the end of the month, so there is still plenty of time to make transfers.

Up to here, the municipality has taken over Haaland, Julián Alvarez, Kalvin Phillips and goalkeeper Stefan Ortega. Of course, an exit from the dimension of Bernardo Silva will certainly have to be traveled …
