A claim has been made that PSG are now set to launch a bid for Bernardo Silva to wrap up a transfer for him from Manchester City.
This comes from journalist Santi Aouna, as the £43.6 million (Guardian) man’s future remains up in the air.
Considering it has been previously reported that PSG have set their sights on Bernardo Silva as a part of their rebuild, it seems like they are preparing to get the wheels in motion for a summer transfer.
PSG readying Bernardo Silva summer transfer bid
The Portuguese international has returned to his brilliant best during the business end of the season, especially in the Champions League, putting on displays for the ages against the likes of Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.
Branded as ‘smart’ due to his versatility by Kevin De Bruyne, there is no questioning that the 28-year-old is still one of City’s most integral players.
However, it has been claimed that not only are PSG ready to submit a bid in the hopes of completing a transfer for Bernardo Silva; but also, that a contract proposal has already been offered.
With his deal at the Etihad Stadium set to run out in 2025, the Ligue 1 champions seem keen on his arrival for a relative bargain fee.
Manchester City will find it impossible to replace Bernardo Silva
Pep Guardiola’s tactical ingenuity will have to be relied upon by Manchester City to replace Bernardo Silva, if indeed the club approve the bid made by PSG to get the transfer over the line.
However, in the market itself, there is no footballer quite as well-rounded as the silky operator.
Bernardo Silva is as uniquely complete as they come, capable of operating at elite levels in midfield and out on the wing, being one of the best technicians in the world, a controller, a defensive demon as well as the ultimate big-game player.
Unless Pep Guardiola comes up with yet another genius tactical solution, Manchester City will find it a challenge to spot a player that has as much in his arsenal as the five-time Premier League winner.
