Bernardo has wanted to leave the treble winners for family reasons. Hirst reports that his preferred destination would be Barcelona so he could be closer to family in Portugal. The La Liga champion’s financial situation has meant they are unable to put together a suitable deal for Manchester City to consider selling their star.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that the champion’s new contract proposal has been sent to Bernardo Silva. He adds to his report that Pep Guardiola’s side has told both Barcelona and PSG that the club will not negotiate any sale of the midfielder. Romano also adds that the treble winners are confident that their key man will sign a new contract.
