Bernardo Silva Willing to Take Massive Pay Cut to Reunite With Ilkay Gundogan at Barcelona, as Per Reports

The summer transfer window is hot on our heels. While fans are keen about Kylian Mbappe‘s potential move to Real Marid, some moves could go under the radar. Despite being the top destination for multiple players across the seas, Premier League giant Manchester City is at the risk of losing some of their top stars this summer. One such name is Bernardo Silva!

There are rumors of a Silva exit from the Etihad come July, with the player searching for a new challenge. While PSG, Al Nassr, and Real Madrid are said to be interested in the player’s signatures, the Portuguese winger has his mind set on a move to Camp Nou. According to reports, Bernardo Siva is keen to secure a move to FC Barcelona as he hopes to reunite with former teammate Ilkay Gundogan. Silva is reportedly willing to take a pay cut to facilitate the move.

However, despite the humble act from the Portuguese, a move to FC Barcelona could be hard to materialize. Silva has a $53.5 million release clause that comes into effect this summer. Barcelona is currently going through a financial crisis and could find themselves in a fix to arrange the finances involved to see the deal through. The team is also interested in securing a full-time move for on-loan star Joao Felix and might have to sack the plan if they want to secure Bernardo Silva’s signing.

Bernardo Silva and Kevin De Bruyne among stars rumored to leave Manchester City in the summer

Manchester City is going through a phase of uncertainty. It would not be a mistake to say that the team suffers from success, with some of their top players looking for a fresh challenge. According to reports, Pep Guardiola’s side could lose up to six players during the upcoming transfer window. Bernardo Silva, Kevin De Bruyne, Jack Grealish, Stefan Ortega, Kalvin Phillips, and Sergio Gomez are all linked with multiple clubs.

While Silva and De Bruyne will enter the final year of their contract at City, some players are unhappy with their game time under the Spaniard. Jack Grealish is said to have multiple suitors, with top English clubs interested in the winger. Meanwhile, Stefan Ortega believes he could be in contention to man the sticks for the club, but things are unlikely to change with Ederson remaining the first choice option for the club.

It will be interesting to see which players remain with the club at the end of the season as the team looks to enter a new chapter the following summer!
