Barcelona Poised to Sign Bernardo Silva as Transfer Market Heats Up
Barcelona’s aggressive start to the transfer market continues, with a third move now on the horizon for the Catalan club. The Blaugrana have already agreed a deal for Newcastle United’s Anthony Gordon and are making moves to bring in Atletico Madrid’s Julian Alvarez. Los Colchoneros also hold an interest in departing Manchester City icon Bernardo Silva, and have held positive talks with the Portuguese midfielder. Juventus have also made an approach for the 31-year-old veteran, who is leaving on a free at the end of his contract, following nine years at the Etihad Stadium. Silva has been frequently linked to Barcelona over the past three years, and in recent days, reported interest has returned. 🚨 JUST IN: FC Barcelona sources say they have not ruled out keeping Marcus Rashford, despite signing Anthony Gordon, who plays the same position, but that they would like to re-negotiate the terms of the deal with United. According to SportItalia, via Sport, Barcelona have reached an agreement on terms with Silva for a deal. Their information is that they will formalise the agreement at the opportune moment for the Catalan side in terms of fitting the deal into their salary limit. The contract would run for a total of two years. Silva was open to joining Atletico, but will give full priority to Barcelona, where some of his family already lives. Agent Jorge Mendes, who has close ties with Barcelona, has been given carte blanche to finalise an agreement. The key question remains: Will Hansi Flick give the green light to the Silva deal?
