Premier League star player is 'crazy' about wanting to join Barcelona, and talks are currently underway
As we approach the final weeks of the 2022 summer transfer window, Barcelona's transfer activity may pick up again.
While a move for Chelsea's Marcos Alonso is well underway, it appears that Barcelona's pursuit of Manchester City superstar Bernardo Silva is also gathering steam.
This summer, the 28-year-old Portugal international has been at the top of manager Xavi Hernandez's wishlist. The Barcelona legend believes that the Manchester City star would be an excellent foil for Pedri in the middle of the park at Camp Nou.
While Man City has been hesitant to sell thus far, it appears that they are reconsidering their stance now that Silva is leaning towards a move to Barça before the summer window closes.
Indeed, Gerard Romero reports that Silva is 'crazy' about a summer transfer to Barcelona, with talks between the two clubs already underway.
Silva's agent, Jorge Mendes, is said to be mediating the deal in order to secure his client's dream move to Camp Nou before the window closes in less than two weeks.
Romero goes on to say that appointments have already been set up for Silva's representatives to look for a home in Barcelona next week, which could be another major hint that a transfer is in the works.
The Portuguese international was the last to leave the Etihad Stadium following Man City's Premier League victory over Bournemouth on Sunday, which has only served to add more fuel to the fire.
Barcelona had hoped to fund a move for the former AS Monaco star by selling Frenkie de Jong, and had even reached an agreement with Manchester United to sell the Dutchman for €85 million.
With the midfielder unwilling to leave, Barcelona could fund Silva's signing by selling Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who is wanted by Chelsea, and out-of-favour right-back Sergio Dest.
As we approach the final weeks of the 2022 summer transfer window, Barcelona's transfer activity may pick up again.
While a move for Chelsea's Marcos Alonso is nearing completion, Barcelona's pursuit of Manchester City superstar Bernardo Silva appears to be gaining traction.
This summer, the 28-year-old Portugal international was at the top of manager Xavi Hernandez's wish list. The Barcelona legend believes Man City's ace would be the ideal cameraman for Pedri in the middle of Camp Nou's park.
While Manchester City has been hesitant to sell thus far, it appears that they may be reconsidering their stance, with Silva reportedly leaning towards a move to Barcelona before the summer window closes.
