PSG ready to rival Barcelona for Bernado Silva

The 28-year-old has widely been linked with a switch to Barcelona, with Xavi hoping to add him within his ranks.

However, the Catalans' financial issues have proved to be a stumbling block for the transfer deal to materialise.

According to ESPN, the Parisians are not confident that Silva will move to the French capital if a fee can be agreed with City.

The publication adds that offering the midfield ace improved personal terms will not be an issue for PSG, something that cannot be said of Barca.
