Former Man City assistant says Bernardo Silva and Ilkay Gundogan are 'Barcelona players'

Bernardo Silva would suit Barcelona perfectly, as would his Manchester City teammate Ilkay Gundogan, according to former Blues assistant Domenec Torrent.

Bernardo has been the subject of intense transfer speculation this summer, with Barcelona making no secret of their desire to sign him, and the player himself admitting he doesn't know if he will still be at City past next week's transfer deadline.

It seems like time is running out for any exit, though, with City wanting to sign a replacement should he leave, and CEO Ferran Soriano this week said that 'of course' Bernardo is staying at City. However, that won't stop Catalan media pushing for a move, with Bernardo unsurprisingly coming up in an interview with former City and Barcelona assistant Torrent.
