Manchester City reportedly rebuffed a £68m (€80m) bid from Paris Saint-Germain for Bernardo Silva this week.
The Spaniard’s future at the Etihad still remains unclear with just 12 days to go until deadline day. Pep Guardiola even admitted this in his pre-Newcastle press conference, saying: “He knows our wishes as a club, me as a manager and even his mates. What is going to happen? I don’t know."
Barcelona have been the club most linked with a move for Silva, although are said to have been put off by City’s £80m valuation. Guardiola is keen for Silva - who scored 13 times last season - to stay in Manchester.
