He wants to leave Manchester City and move to Barcelona

Manchester City's Portuguese star Bernardo Silva has decided to leave the club at the end of the season. The 30-year-old attacking midfielder plans to continue his career at one of the Spanish giants, Barcelona. This was reported by Todofichajes.

In fact, the Catalan club has been interested in signing Bernardo Silva for a long time. The parties have tried several times to reach an agreement, but the transfer did not take place due to financial reasons.

Experts estimate Bernardo's current transfer price at around 55-60 million euros. However, given that the player's contract with Manchester City expires in 2026, Barcelona is trying to significantly reduce this amount.

In addition, it is said that in order for Barcelona to meet the requirements of Financial Fair Play, one or more players from the existing squad will need to be transferred. Only in this case will the Catalans be able to complete the transfer of the Portuguese player.

It is worth recalling that Bernardo Silva has been playing for the "city" since 2017. The Portuguese midfielder, who has been under criticism recently, hopes to turn a new page in his career by changing the team and environment.

Bernardo's transfer to Barcelona could be beneficial for both parties, as the Catalans also need a high-level player. At the same time, negotiations on the implementation of this transfer are expected to begin soon.
