Gerard Romero claims that Barcelona efforts to sign Bernardo Silva have gained momentum.
Representatives for the Portuguese international seem to be pressing for a transfer to Camp Nou. The athlete has long harbored dreams of joining Barcelona. Even though the transfer to Camp Nou did not happen, he was very almost moving there last summer.
However, Bernardo might eventually have another chance to depart Etihad and go for a new challenge somewhere this summer.
Silva is actually “crazy,” according to SPORT, for traveling to Barcelona. The former AS Monaco superstar, who has a reasonable €58 million release clause, feels his time at Etihad is up.

In order to help Barcelona get his services, the Portuguese is even prepared to accept a wage decrease, according to Barca Universal.
Silva feels that his time at Manchester City is running out and that a move to Barcelona is what he wants to do. Pep Guardiola and company have been aware of Silva’s predicament for a while.
Barcelona’s chances of landing a big-name player this summer seem slim unless the team returns to the 1:1 rule.
However, the Catalans are working closely with La Liga to rebalance their books, and it seems the club is quite optimistic they can return to the 1:1 rule this summer.
In that scenario, Barcelona can easily make a move for Bernardo Silva this summer, especially if they are able to sanction the sale of unwanted stars like Sergino Dest, Ansu Fati, and Oriol Romeu, among others.
Silva’s willingness to sign with Barça and accept a pay cut will only help the team’s chances of acquiring the playmaker this summer.
