Hansi Flick allegedly wants Barcelona to complete a Bosman deal for 31-year-old Portuguese international Bernardo Silva during the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Spanish source Fichajes, Barcelona is interested in Bernardo Silva. The reigning La Liga champions are looking to strengthen their offensive unit by recruiting a versatile playmaker during the summer transfer window. So the 31-year-old Manchester City veteran has emerged as a target for Barcelona.
According to the latest reports, Hansi Flick is the driving factor behind Barcelona’s interest in the former AS Monaco star. The German tactician has a shortlist of three summer transfer targets, including Alessandro Bastoni and Julián Álvarez.
Bernardo Silva has established himself as one of the Premier League’s most consistent performers since joining Manchester City from AS Monaco for £43 million in July 2017. The 31-year-old took his time before becoming a regular at the Etihad. Nonetheless, he has made significant development over the past eight and a half years.
Flick demanded Bernardo Silva from Barcelona in the summer
Hansi Flick has opted to take over sports planning in order to completely revamp Barcelona’s competitive image for the next summer season. For the coach, it is not just about adding names to the roster but also about incorporating players who can execute his aggressive style of play with surgical precision.
The goal is clear: to construct a team capable of maintaining high pressure and dynamic possession on the most difficult evenings of the Champions League. The midfield demands better time management, which is where the relentless Bernardo Silva comes in.
The Portuguese midfielder is the primary goal, providing the control and dynamism that allows the team to retain dominance even when legs get fatigued. Silva is the right complement for La Masía’s youthful talent, providing outstanding game reading and elevating the team’s competitiveness, according to Flick.
According to the most recent reports, Flick has instructed Barcelona to recruit the Manchester City veteran during the summer transfer window because he is “the team’s great hope for providing the control and dynamism that allow them to maintain dominance even when players’ legs start to tire.
