The potential sale of Ousmane Dembele to Paris Saint-Germain meansBarcelonahave єɴԀured a very busy period in the transfer market.
Although the club are not in favour of a sale, Dembele’s departure could free up a significant salary mass, which in turn, could help the club bring in new stars.
One such playerBarçamight pursue following the departure of Dembele is Bernardo Silva. The Portuguese international has once again been linked with a move to Camp Nou, withBarçainterested in signing himif Dembele goes for a big fee.
Xavi has contacted Bernardo Silva
According toGerard Romero,Barcelonacoach Xavi Hernandez has even contacted Bernardo Silva in the last few hours.
Xavi has informed the playmaker thatBarcelonaare working on a Ԁєɑł to sign him. The player, for his part, is ɾєρօɾτedly looking for a move away from Etihad.
Xavi, meanwhile, has harboured hopes of Silva for a long time. The Portuguese international is theBarçacoach’s iԀєɑł choice as he looks to reinforce his options in the interior midfield slots.
Silva was notably linked with a move to Camp Nou last summer, but the move did not materialize due to Barça’s financial woes.
A reunion with Gundogan?
ProvidingBarcelonaare able to complete this Ԁєɑł, Bernardo Silva will not be the only Manchester City player moving to Catalonia this summer.
In fact, the playmaker would reunite with his former Man City teammate Ilkay Gundogan, who had joined the club on a free transfer earlier in the summer.
However, whether or notBarcelonacan pull off this Ԁєɑł remains the big question.
Even if theBlaugranasucceed in offloading Dembele for a big fee, they would still require an additional infusion of cash in order to afford Silva.
The club, however, have an excellent relationship with Manchester City, so it will be interesting to see how things transpire in the coming weeks.
