7M Exclusive - City bidding 100m for Silva

Posted Monday, August 15, 2022 by 7M Sport

According to The Athletic, City will offer €100m for Bernardo Silva and will not budge on The price.

It is understood that City are not prepared to sell Bernardo Silva this summer. They will not budge on the price, which has been the same since the start of the summer transfer window.

Barca's interest in the 28-year-old has increased over the past few weeks, but City have yet to receive a formal offer from them and have made no serious contact with Bernardo Silva. Bernardo Silva is under contract at City until 2025 and a move could happen at some point in the future.

If City choose to let Bernardo Silva go, they will no doubt have to find a replacement for Bernardo Silva, an almost impossible task with two weeks to go before the summer window closes.

Barca have yet to complete the registration of their new signings. Barca now need to sell some of their registered players in order to clear cap space for new signings and complete the registration.

Manchester City are also aware of Bernardo Silva's desire to move and are keeping an open mind.

De Bruyne said in an interview: "Once the transfer window closes, Bernardo Silva will remain. I think he will stay, so I have nothing to worry about."
