Joao Felix recently disclosed that his Portugal teammate, Bernardo Silva, has shown interest in life at FC Barcelona. In an interview, Felix mentioned that Silva has inquired about various aspects of living in Barcelona, including the weather and tax issues. The Manchester City star is reportedly keen on a move to the Catalans, with rumors suggesting a potential departure from his current club.
Silva, who has a release clause of $63 million (£50 million) at Manchester City, has caught the eye of Barcelona. Felix, currently on loan at Barcelona, expressed his admiration for Silva, stating that he would not hesitate to pay more than the release clause to secure the 29-year-old's services.
Discussing the potential transfer, Felix expressed his eagerness for Barcelona to sign Silva, emphasizing the player's qualities both on and off the pitch. He also mentioned Silva's desire to wear the number 10 shirt at Barcelona, a significant number at the club that requires careful consideration.
If Barcelona decides to pursue Silva, it would involve negotiations with Manchester City, as there are plans to make Joao Cancelo's loan deal permanent as well. Cancelo, who plays as a right back, has hinted at a permanent move to Barcelona, further complicating the potential transfer dealings between the two clubs.
Barcelona's recent history includes successfully acquiring Ilkay Gundogan from Manchester City last summer. Despite City offering a higher salary, Xavi managed to convince the German midfielder to join Barcelona on a free transfer, showcasing the club's ability to attract top talent.
As the transfer window approaches, the potential move of Bernardo Silva to Barcelona remains a topic of interest for fans and pundits alike, with negotiations between the clubs expected to unfold in the coming months.
