Barcelona target Bernando Silva from Man City

Barcelona will try to sign Manchester City’s Bernando Silva as the Catalans are currently preparing an official offer.

Reports say that Silva is ready to force his exit, if Barcelona were to make an appropriate bid.

City’s manager Pep Guardiola has addressed the ongoing rumor and has made it clear that neither he nor the team will stand in the 28-year-old’s way.

“I want to clarify this as I know reports in Barcelona make up what I say. I don’t want any players who don’t want to be here.” Guardiola said.

“I want to work with guys who want to stay and work with us. Some players feel they want a new experience. I will not be the guy who says ‘no’ — but they have to make an agreement with the club.”

Silva has enjoyed a tremendous success at City since joining them from AS Monaco in 2017 for £43m. He has made over 300 appearances and bagged 55 goals, winning 5 Premier League titles, a Champions League, 2 FA Cups and 4 League Cups.
