Bernardo Silva’s departure from Manchester City has increased speculation about a Barcelona move. Foot Mercato reports Barcelona are on the verge of signing the Portugal international. A contract is expected to run until 2028, with an option for an additional year, following approval from Hansi Flick. Agent Jorge Mendes is working to finalize agreement details covering salary and bonuses. Atletico Madrid has also shown interest, but Bernardo reportedly prefers joining Barcelona over Atletico. If the transfer happens, it could further frustrate Diego Simeone’s side. Atletico is also irritated by ongoing speculation linking Barcelona to a summer move for Julian Alvarez.
"Talk of a Barcelona move for Bernardo Silva is growing louder following the midfielder's departure from Manchester City. The latest update comes from Foot Mercato and a new 'exclusive' that states Barcelona "are on the verge" of landing the Portugal international. Bernardo is being tipped to sign a contract until 2028, with the option for another year, after Hansi Flick gave the transfer the green light."
"Agent Jorge Mendes is now putting the final touches to an agreement with Barcelona regarding salary and bonuses. Atletico Madrid had also been keen on signing Bernardo, but the player has reportedly made it clear that his preference has always been to join the Catalan club. If Bernardo does end up picking Barca over Atletico it will potentially annoy Diego Simeone's side further."
"Los Colchoneros have also expressed their frustration with Barca over the continued speculation about a summer move for Argentina international Julian Alvarez."
