Barcelona have reportedly dropped their interest in Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva, despite being heavily linked with a move for the Portuguese international.
According to Sport, the 28-year-old is no longer a target for the Catalan side, with Xavi set to look at other players ahead of the upcoming January transfer window. The former Monaco ace was thought to be a target for the Spanish outfit last summer, but the Blues were adamant that the player was not leaving.
Silva is under contract until 2025, meaning if Barca do want to push through a deal, they will likely have to fork out a substantial transfer fee for the Portuguese star. The LaLiga club have signed a number of City stars in recent years, including Eric Garcia and Ferran Torres.
