Bernardo Silva looks very likely to leave Man City this summer.
That’s according to journalist Alex Crook, who has claimed that the midfielder will ‘probably’ leave amid strong interest from Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona.
“I think Bernardo Silva probably will leave this summer,” Crook told talkSPORT.
“I think he’s been looking to get away for a while now and there’s strong interest from PSG and maybe Barcelona as well.”
Silva has been a regular fixture in Man City’s starting line-up since joining the club from Monaco and he has since claimed the title of one of the the world’s best midfielders when at his peak.
Pep Guardiola has expressed his admiration for the 28-year-old on a number of occasions and claimed the ‘special’ player was ‘one of the best’ he had ever trained in his life.
Despite Pep’s love for Silva, Crook claimed he is eager to leave the Etihad Stadium and has been heavily linked with a move to some of Europe’s biggest clubs.
Barcelona president Joan Laporta recently admitted that he ‘would like’ to bring Silva to Spain, while reports have emerged claiming that PSG will offer Marco Verratti and Gianluigi Donnarumma in a player swap deal this summer.
Man City are keen to keep Silva on their books and want to offer him a new deal in a bid to keep him at the club, however Crook has now revealed he is very likely to depart this summer.
Bernardo Silva is one of four key players that could leave Man City
Bernardo Silva‘s exit will be a huge disappointment to Man City fans, though it is made even worse by potentially losing Ilkay Gundogan, Riyad Mahrez and Kyle Walker too.
The former has already left England to join Barcelona this summer, while Mahrez and Walker are thought to be in talks over their respective moves away.
Aymeric Laporte and Joao Cancelo may also be on their way out ahead of what is looking like a new era under Pep, though the pair have already fallen out of favour at the club.
Man City look set to lose most of their core players that have brought them so much success in recent years and they will desperately need to replace these key men if they are to keep up their European domination.
