"Barcelona may have had a busy January so far, trying to churn out the youth academy. But the club are bracing themselves for a busier summer ahead. The Catalans are expected to shore up multiple positions, with the focus primarily on signing a new defender and a striker. However, the coming summer could present Barcelona with the opportunity to sign one of their long-time midfield targets in Bernardo Silva."
"The Manchester City star's contract at Etihad expires in the summer, making him a potential free agent at the end of the season. Although Bernardo has offers from Saudi Arabia, he has told his agent Jorge Mendes he wants to continue at the highest level of football, and Barcelona, to that end, have emerged as an attractive destination. Mendes shares an excellent relationship with Barcelona president Joan Laporta, and the club itself are aware of his desire to come to Camp Nou."
"However, Barcelona are not entirely sure if it wants to sign Bernardo Silva next summer. That is largely due to the fact that signing a new midfielder is not among the team's priorities at the moment. The club are already quite stacked in the attacking midfield role, with Fermin Lopez, who has been handed a renewal offer and Dani Olmo competing for the position."
Barcelona are preparing for a busy summer, targeting multiple positions particularly a defender and a striker. The club could also have the chance to sign Bernardo Silva, who has informed Barcelona of his keenness to join at season's end. Bernardo's Manchester City contract expires in the summer, and he faces offers from Saudi Arabia but prefers to remain at the highest level. Jorge Mendes represents him and shares a strong relationship with Barcelona president Joan Laporta. Barcelona currently view a midfielder signing as a lower priority because Fermin López, Dani Olmo and a soon-to-be-fit Gavi occupy attacking midfield roles.
