When you have no money it is difficult to close any operation. Barcelona have made some breathing space, the financial noose is not been fully tightened around their neck. However, Blaugrana is still far from being able to splurge money on players – for every expense, they have to avoid such actions and this is severely holding them back.Barca’s business is monitored by people from the Spanish and European football head organization. Gone are the days when they managed to circumvent the rules of Financial Fair Play. Every move is now under scrutiny and Barcelona are making moves carefully, which could leave them without many of their transfer targets. Bernardo Silva, being one of them, got fed up that everything about his transfer was dragging on so he gave the Catalan club an ultimatum.##NAJAVA_MECA_7417566##The agents of the Portuguese clearly told the leaders of the Blaugrana that they have until the end of the week to take concrete steps, that is, to enter into official negotiations with Manchester City to which the winner of the triple crown in the previous season could agree. Because, until now, everything the Spanish champion offered was quickly rejected. In practice, the offers that came to Etihad were not even considered, at least not seriously.Barcelona prepared a contract for Bernardo Silva for three plus one season, according to which he would earn 11,000,000 euros, the salary is not in dispute, and that’s where the deal fell through easily. But, in order to realize the transfer, the Catalans are in a deficit of, for the lack of a better word – “living” cash, because Manchester City do not agree to financial acrobatics and loans with a mandatory buyout.Manchester City have already rejected an offer from Barcelona, which proposed that the Portuguese midfielder move on a one-year loan, and then pay around 60,000,000 euros to the Etihad. The Cityzens demand more and want the money immediately, delayed payment is out of the question.🚨🚨💣| FC Barcelona still haven’t given up on signing Bernardo Silva & are working ‘against the clock’ to make it happen. @martinezferran pic.twitter.com/Jxs0cwa0T6— Managing Barça (@ManagingBarca) August 9, 2023 Bernardo Silva began to lose patience, it became obvious to him that everything could drag on indefinitely and eventually even – fail. That’s why he gave Barcelona a deadline, he wants to know what the situation as soon as possible. To make things even worse for Barca, he began to think in another direction – staying at the Etihad became an option. Manchester City are willing to offer him a new contract and it could happen soon.At the beginning of next week, the Portuguese will know what to do.
