The Bernardo Silva transfer saga is taking another twist and does not favor Paris Saint-Germain. FC Barcelona might take the lead over the Ligue 1 side to land the 2023 UEFA Champions League winner.
Mundo Deportivo’s Ferran Martínez reports that the Manchester City midfielder is turning down lucrative offers from Paris Saint-Germain and clubs in Saudi Arabia.

According to the Spanish outlet, the Portuguese international’s burning desire to play for Barcelona has led him to reject all other proposals.
With his exceptional technical skills, vision, and versatility, Silva has proven himself a key player in Manchester City’s success since his arrival from AS Monaco in 2017. However, after winning everything with the Premier League club, it’s no surprise Silva wants a new challenge.
It will be interesting to see if PSG can unlock this Silva file, as he’d replace the creativity that Lionel Messi brought to the squad. Nonetheless, missing out on the 28-year-old would be a minor setback, especially if he decides to leave for Barcelona.
