Barcelona could test Manchester City’s resolve to keep Bernardo Silva with a bold swap offer involving Frenkie de Jong.
Silva has been linked with a potential move to Catalonia for the last 12 months despite his ongoing importance to City.
However, the rumours have resurfaced again this summer, with Xavi looking to add more creativity to his midfield until, ahead of an incoming La Liga title defence.
Despite the links, City’s €60m asking price for Silva would make a deal impossible, as Barcelona continue to recover from their financial issues.
As per reports from the Daily Mirror, a deal could be brokered, if Barcelona include a player swap in the negotiations, with de Jong a long standing target for City.
De Jong rejected a move away last summer, amid huge interest from Manchester United, and he played a key role in a first league title win since 2019.
After missing out on Declan Rice, City are in the market for a new midfielder, with captain Ilkay Gundogan already switching to Barcelona.
no thanks
What about you pay the money you owe for Torres first, beggars
Mmmmm pls lets swap fran an get silver
I prày this SWAP is done promptly. Silva for Frank will be more beneficial in terms of creativity in midfield play n tactical discipline
I rather be a begger than having BLOOD MONEY
But blood money was ok when General Francisco Franco saved you from bankruptcy three times and in return was decorated with a gold medal each (to my knowledge only team that ever decorated Franco)? All while he built the Camp Nou for you. Then blood money seemed ok.
Why don’t you rename the Camp Nou Spotify to Camp Franco Spotify to honor your benefactor?
U don’t seem to know the history of ya club ASSHOLE,can u tell me di stephano was signed,probably nt,in 1943 how we came about the heaviest defeat in classico history to madrid(11-1) second leg of copa dey match etc,u got no brains ASSHOLE
U seem to hv 4gotten what happened in 1936,barca president JOSEP SUNYOL was capture and murdered by franco’s forces, so shut up that thing u call a mouth and go thru history thoroughly.
That still doesnt adress the fact that you, in a typically illiterate manner for a Barcelona fan; avoided to recognize the historical fact that you can thank Francisco Franco for your existence because he saved your club three times (and was decorated for that) while he built you Camp Franco Nou.
I find your frustrations and infatuation with the word asshole pretty amusing, most likely because you like to receive things there.
we need benardo silva to barcelone this season
