  • Paris-Saint Germain is the latest club to join the chase for the services of the dynamic Portugal international
  • Silva faces an uncertain future at the Etihad Stadium as he wants to embark on a new adventure while he is still in his peak years

French champions Paris Saint-Germain are hoping to steal in front of Barcelona and sign Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva.

Barcelona and Silva have edged closer to sealing a summer transfer as the Spanish club had reportedly agreed on personal terms with the Portugal international.

But Foot Mercato reports that PSG are interested in the Portuguese international too, as Sporting Advisor and compatriot Luis Campos is a big admirer of the former AS Monaco star.

Silva is believed to be a childhood fan of the Blaugrana, but the hypothetical move to Camp Nou can only take place in the event of Frenkie de Jong being sold.

Jorge Mendes, the agent of Silva, has explained to the Manchester City man that he might have to wait until late August to join the Catalans.

The 27-year-old is reported to be willing to wait even until the last day of the transfer market, as the parties have already discussed personal terms.

Bernardo Silva Offered Himself to Barcelona by Sending a Text Message

Meanwhile, new reports have emerged that Bernardo Silva asked Barcelona to sign him via a text message in 2021.

The Manchester City star has been at the centre of a silent war between Pep Guardiola and his former player turned coach Xavi Hernandez.

Numerous reports claim that Xavi is heavily interested in signing the Portuguese utility player this summer. The Daily Mail understands that Silva asked Barcelona officials to draw up a contract for him when they were signing Ferran Torres.

Barcelona confirm the sale of 24.5 percent of Barça Studios

Sports Brief earlier reported that Barcelona has confirmed the club has raised a total of €100 million after selling 24.5 percent of the club’s studios.

The Blaugrana have now triggered their third economic lever that should take care of any problems that they would have faced with regard to the registration of the new signings.

Barcelona has now generated a massive sum of over €750 million from the sale of club assets this summer as the club battles to come out of its financial crisis.
