If reports in Spain are to be believed, Bernardo Silva has decided that he wants to join Barcelona this summer. Sport are reporting that Bernardo has told Pep Guardiola and Manchester City of his intention, as speculation continues in Spain linking the Portuguese playmaker to the Camp Nou.
The report adds that City would demand at least €100m for Bernardo, who has three years left on his current contract, but Barca would try to lower that fee by at least €40m.
That could see one of City's best players leave for around £50m, and fans are less than impressed with the suggestion of losing such a popular member of the squad for so little.
