Man City 'ready to let Bernado Silva leave' and more transfer rumours

Manchester City are reportedly 'ready to leave Bernardo Silva leave' the club if the right offer comes in.

That's according to Gerard Romero who has stated that although City are keen to keep hold of the player, especially after coming off the back of two strong seasons, they could let him leave if Barcelona meet their demands. Pep Guardiola seemingly ruled out a move for the Portuguese star after their comeback win over Palace.

He said: "Bernardo will stay at Manchester City – I’ve been clear. He is irreplaceable, he’s so important. Bernardo can play in three, four, five different positions. I want him so much."

However, Romero reports that should an offer sizeable come in, then they would not stand in the way of Silva if he wished to leave.

That would be unlikely though, with Barcelona in the midst of a financial crisis, and perhaps being forced into selling Frenkie de Jong and Pierre Emerick Aubameyang in the next two days.

Elsewhere, City youngster Luke Mbete now looks set to join Huddersfield Town with a deal likely in the coming days.

The Athletic has now reported that the deal is expected to go through to see the centre-back join on a loan deal.

Huddersfield benefitted from Levi Colwill joining on loan in the same position last year, who performed at a high level before joining Brighton on loan this season.

Mbete looks like he'll hope to do the same before rejoining with City's first team next summer.
