Manchester City have reportedly set an £80m asking price for Bernardo Silva.
The Portuguese schemer has been linked with a potential move to Barcelona this summer after hinting at being interested in leaving the Etihad Stadium this month.
Barcelona considered a swoop for the 27-year-old last summer with Pep Guardiola open to a sale.
However, Silva has reignited himself in Manchester in the last 12 months, with 13 goals in all competitions in 2021/22, and City will now demand a higher fee, as per reports from the Daily Mirror.
Barcelona were unable to raise £60m for him in 2021, and the financial situation at the Camp Nou has not changed, with sales the only route to a deal.
If Frenkie de Jong completes a €70m switch to Manchester United that could free up enough resources for a move for Silva.
