Barcelona boss Xavi Hernandez has not ruled out Bernardo Silva joining the club from Manchester City before deadline day next week.
Silva notably featured as the two clubs took part in a friendly match in aid of ALS research on Wednesday evening and has been a target for the Blaugrana all summer. But Barca’s failure to sell their highest earning player Frenkie de Jong has stalled any potential move for the Portugal ace.
Pep Guardiola turned down the opportunity to rule out a stunning late move for Silva to the Camp Nou, despite his status and importance to City’s squad and his role in helping them to win four Premier League titles in the past five seasons, while Paris Saint-Germain have also reportedly seen a £59million move rejected.
