Mocking smiles followed every media speculation. They said: newspapers are publishing click-baits all over. There is no chance that Barcelona will do anything significant in the summer transfer window. And then the ball started rolling – Andreas Christensen, Franck Kessie, Raphinha; then the two of the three main signings – Robert Lewandowski and Jules Kounde. They are just getting their momentum on the third one. Bernardo Silva of course.##NAJAVA_MECA_6541756##Catalan media reports signs of optimism from the Camp Nou Stadium. Yes, president Joan Laporta is flirting with bankruptcy, but he has managed to make Barcelona attractive again. It seemed unimaginable, but the Catalans, perhaps overly ambitious, are again talking about an attack to the top of Europe, so it all came to the point where Silva no longer has a dilemma: either he stays in Manchester City or he goes to Barcelona.Laporta, for his part, did everything he could. He also sold off part of Barca’s assets – the last move was the sale of 24.5 percent of “Barca Studio” for 100 million euros – and with that he should have filled the budget for the first five reinforcements, just in case there were no outgoing transfers. Still too little for Silva. The main condition for him to come is that Frankie De Jong is finally sold. Manchester United or Chelsea, it doesn’t matter to Barca.🚨 Once Frenkie De Jong’s €80M transfer to Chelsea is complete, Barcelona will sign Bernardo Silva.(Source: @LluisMascaro) pic.twitter.com/SYVu1cd4Ic— Transfer News Live (@DeadlineDayLive) August 3, 2022 It is important that money enters the club, because bringing Silva will not be cheap. Earlier it was written that City will not release him for less than 80 million euros, probably even that will not be enough. And that’s about how much Barca could take for De Jong, with all the bonuses.It seems difficult to do, but Laporta has already shown us – don’t write him off too soon.
