TOP STORY: Silva pushing for Barca move
Bernardo Silva has informed his agent that he would like to join Barcelona this summer, reveals Sport.
After joining Manchester City in 2017, the 27-year-old midfielder is reported to be looking for the next chapter of his career, and he is keen to make the switch to the Camp Nou after Barcelona revealed their interest in him this summer.
Negotiations are set to take place in the coming weeks as the Blaugrana look to strike a deal with the Premier League champions, though Pep Guardiola’s side are currently looking for a minimum of €100 million to part ways with the Portugal international.
