Over the past couple of summers Bernardo Silva has been linked with moves away from Manchester City, and this transfer window looks set to be no different.
After a remarkable season in which Bernardo played a crucial role in City winning the Premier League title for the fourth time in five years, the Portuguese midfielder is reportedly attracting the attention of admirers. According to the latest reports, that admirer is Barcelona, specifically coach Xavi. According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Barcelona chiefs met with Bernardo's agent Jorge Mendes this week, with the 27-year-old the main topic of conversation.
It's understood that Xavi would love to have Bernardo as part of his Barca rebuild, but unless the club sells Frenkie de Jong — wanted by Manchester United — then there is no way that the Catalan club could afford him.
