Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said he is keen to keep Bernardo Silva at the club but conceded the lure of joining Barcelona may prove too much to convince the Portugal international to stay.
Silva has been linked with a move to the Spanish side in recent weeks and Guardiola left the door open for the midfielder's potential departure from the reigning Premier League champions.
The Premier League champions faced Barca in a friendly fundraiser at Camp Nou on Wednesday with Silva starting before being withdrawn in the second half.
Guardiola told reporters after the match he wanted Silva to remain at the Etihad Stadium, but added that the player "likes Barcelona a lot" and may have already had his head turned by the Spanish giants. "I'm no one to tell Barca to forget about [signing] Bernardo," Guardiola told reporters. "We want him to stay with us, but I don't want anyone who's not happy.
