Barcelona are reportedly gearing up for another swoop for Manchester City's Bernardo Silva in January.
According to Spanish outlet Sport, the sudden retirement of long-serving Gerard Pique has unexpectedly freed up a portion of Barca's salary budget.
A report by Marca adds that Pique's retirement will save the club roughly £44million, significantly helping the cash-strapped La Liga giants. It is now claimed that Barca are ready to make their move for Bernardo, a player they were heavily interested in last summer.
