"Silva played an integral role in the success that the Cityzens have achieved under Pep Guardiola in recent years. Given his quality, there is unlikely to be a shortage of suitors to secure his services on a free transfer in the summer."
"Reports in Spain, however, have suggested that Silva's dream remains to play for Barcelona. The Catalans chased him for multiple summers when Xavi Hernandez was manager, but Fair Play woes and Man City's reluctance to let their key player go meant a move never materialised."
"Barcelona too are interested in the versatile midfielder. However, it must be noted that the reigning La Liga champions have other priorities in the market, and any move for Silva would need him to accept a significant pay cut."
Bernardo Silva, Manchester City captain, will depart the club when his contract expires on June 30. He seeks a new challenge in his career. Silva has been pivotal in Manchester City's success under Pep Guardiola. FC Barcelona and Juventus are interested in signing him, along with potential suitors from Saudi Arabia and the MLS.
