Barcelona have made Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva their top priority for when Ousmane Dembele’s move to Paris Saint-Germain is confirmed.
That’s according to Mundo Deportivo, who believe that Blaugrana boss Xavi Hernandez is desperate to land City’s wantaway 28-year-old midfielder, and wants the club to make him their top priority. Silva is also keen on moving to Barcelona, and he is hoping that City boss Pep Guardiola sticks to the promise he made of allowing Silva to leave, should the club receive the right offer.
It’s now up to the Catalan club to assemble an offer good enough to persuade City to part with the Portuguese star.
City have so far been reluctant for Silva to leave following the departures of Ilkay Gundogan and Riyad Mahrez, but Barca might now be able to match City’s proposed asking price of €87 million thanks to the imminent transfer of Dembele.
