Manchester United reportedly came forward with an offer of 60 million euros and another 20 million in bonuses, and in Barcelona they have already said goodbye to Frankie De Jong. He was not a failure, but he did not convince the people from Camp Nou that he could become a pillar of their midfield. Therefore, Barça are ready to accept United’s offer, and then to transfer that money over to the blue side of Manchester and bring none less than Bernardo Silva from Manchester City!Thu 21:45: (1.40) Portugal (5.30) Czech R. (9.00)Silva has a contract until 2025 and Man City have the upper hand. The Catalans rely on the assessment that Bernardo really wants to go to Barcelona. As Pep Guardiola does not like to keep dissatisfied players, there might be room for some kind of agreement and some proper compensation. Because if Man City insist on the market value of the players – Barcelona will not have enough to pay. Regardless of potential money from De Jong sale.In today’s interview for Sport, the vice president of Barcelona in charge of economic issues, Eduard Romeu, said that the club would get out of financial problems only if someone came and immediately poured around 500 million euros into the club! Since that will not happen, Barça will have to be careful for a few more years and make careful moves along the way.This one with Silva doesn’t really look that way. Not because he is a bad football player, on the contrary, but because he is in his best years, at the peak of his career and with probably the biggest market value he will have in his career. And such players are usually reserved for clubs with a good financial situation. Barcelona used to be like that, now it’s Real Madrid, then Bayern, of course Paris Saint-Germain and Man City…Lights! Camera! Transfer action!Performance-wise – a completely different story. Nobody doubts Silva’s qualities. The only question is: how to get his signature? Mundo Deportivo states that president Joan Laporta spoke with Jorge Mendes just yesterday. Bernardo Silva allegedly wants to go to Barcelona and is waiting for an offer to go with it to the executives of the Etihad club.But why would City allow that? That is not clear. Especially for compensation in the rank of De Jong’s. Silva is still a better football player, at least for now.
