Bernardo Silva’s contract will expire in the summer of 2025.
Barcelona failed in the first attempt of signing Bernardo Silva. Manchester City have reportedly rejected a transfer offer for Portugal international from La Blaugrana.
The Catalan giants have been linked with a move for Silva for over 12 months despite their financial issues blocking any chance of a formal bid.
Pep Guardiola has firmly issued a message of determination to keep the Portuguese at the Etihad this season. Siilva’s contract will expire in the summer of 2025.
The report adds the offer of £50m was instantly turned down by the Cityzens. Premier League giants will only consider the slight potential of a sale, if Barcelona returns with an improved deal in the coming weeks.
Barca head Xavi have publicly admitted their interest in signing him, with Silva rumoured to be open-minded over a possible switch.
Barcelona will still push for Silva despite losing the first chance. Guardiola recently claimed that Man City will try their best to keep the Portugal international at Etihad.
