Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva Turns Down PSG as He Prefers Spanish La Liga Over French Ligue 1: Reports

There has been a lot of speculation about the future of Manchester City superstar Bernardo Silva. After a successful season that saw Manchester City clinch the treble, Silva is now looking for a new challenge. While Manchester City would love to keep the player in their ranks. Manager Pep Guardiola has made it clear that he will not keep any player in the team against their will.

With French giants Paris Saint Germain alongside multiple Saudi Arabian outfits interested in Silva, the midfielder is spoilt for choices. However, if reports are to be believed, Silva does have only one location in mind if he moves away from Manchester City.

Bernardo Silva is interested in a move to Spain

Following the departure of Ilkay Gundogan to Barcelona, on a free transfer. Manchester City would love to keep Bernardo Silva in their ranks for another season. However, the midfielder has been linked with Barcelona for a while now and could reportedly move to the club, snubbing PSG in the process.

While Barcelona are currently struggling to adjust their wage bill, the team could make a move for the midfielder. With PSG in negotiation with Barcelona over the transfer of Frenchman Ousmane Dembele, a move would allow Barcelona to secure the services of Bernardo Silva.

However, things are not as easy as it sounds, with Barcelona still looking to find replacements in different positions. But if the Spanish side manages to offload the likes of Ferran Torres, and Ousmane Dembele in the ongoing transfer window, the team could make room for Silva.

Manchester City looking to overhaul their squad

After a successful campaign last season, Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is looking to overhaul his squad. The team has already listed the likes of Aymeric Laporte, and Kyle Walker as up for sale, as they look to bring in fresh names. The team has already secured the services of Croatian star Mateo Kovacic from Chelsea to strengthen their midfield.

Manchester City will also want to secure the services of defender Josko Gvardiol. However, RB Leipzig’s price tag of $100 million has delayed the negotiations. If the likes of Bernardo Silva move away from the Etihad, Pep Guardiola, and his side might have to step in and look for a replacement for the player.
