Manchester City have 'denied' that they offered Bernardo Silva to Barcelona this summer. Earlier in July, rumours had emerged suggesting that the player would not turn down the opportunity to join Barcelona if the move presented itself, but their notable financial troubles have made any possibility of this particularly slim.
And with three years left on his current contract, City were always in the driving seat, but have never forced a player to stay against their will.
Silva asked to leave the club last summer, but with no suitors, he got his head down and was a driving force behind City's fourth Premier League title in five seasons.
