Barcelona are interested in Manchester City playmaker Bernardo Silva, and it remains to be seen whether they can get the deal done.

Barcelona sporting director, Deco, is working on a deal to sign Manchester City playmaker Bernardo Silva in a Bosman move next summer, as per a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes.

Manchester City paid £43 million to sign the veteran playmaker from AS Monaco several years ago, and he has been exceptional for them over the years. Silva has helped them win several major trophies, and he is undoubtedly one of the best players they have had during Pep Guardiola’s reign.

The Portuguese international is now being linked with a move away from the Premier League club, and moving to Barcelona could be ideal for him. Silva has already proven himself over the years, and he has won several trophies with Manchester City.

This could be the right time for him to try out a new challenge. Moving to Barcelona will be an exciting opportunity. The Catalan giants are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and he will be able to test himself in La Liga. There is no doubt that he has the quality and the experience to succeed in Spain.

Silva is versatile enough to operate anywhere in midfield, and he could be an asset for Barcelona as they are looking to put together a team capable of winning major trophies, and they could use his experience and leadership qualities. The Portuguese international would be a superb acquisition in the short term for them.

Manchester City need to replace Silva

Meanwhile, Bernardo Silva’s departure will be a blow for Manchester City. He has been a leader in the dressing room for them and a consistent performer on the pitch. It will be interesting to see how Manchester City replace him in the coming months.

Manchester City have recently lost a quality midfielder like Kevin De Bruyne, and losing the Portuguese international further strips them of creativity and quality in the middle of the park. They need to bring in top-class players to fill the void left by these players.

Manchester City were not able to push for the Premier League title, and they will be desperate to bounce back strongly this time. However, they have not started the season as per their standard, and it remains to be seen whether they can make amends in the coming weeks.
