⏩ Gordon, Julián... now Bernardo Silva, Barça push, says SER | OneFootball

FC Barcelona's transfer market is on fire. Following the confirmed arrival of Anthony Gordon and the strong interest in Julián Álvarez, the sporting department led by Deco has launched another top-level move. The main target is Bernardo Silva, who will leave Manchester City this summer as a free agent.

As reported by SER Catalunya, the Portuguese footballer has become an absolute priority for Hansi Flick. The German coach has told Deco of the need to give the squad greater depth and more tactical options. Silva’s versatility and proven experience fit perfectly into the manager’s plans for next season.

Negotiations are moving at a frantic pace ahead of the start of the 2026 World Cup. Sources close to the player have confirmed that Barça are the club best placed to secure his services. In fact, the Portuguese midfielder himself has given total priority to the Catalan club over the other offers currently on the table.

Rashford’s future hanging by a thread

This strategic move will have direct consequences for the squad planning. Bernardo Silva’s arrival would definitively rule out Marcus Rashford's stay. In the Camp Nou offices, it is believed that the Portuguese player’s profile is much better suited to the playing ecosystem they want to implement.

The club’s machinery is not slowing down ahead of a summer that promises plenty of excitement. With Gordon already in Barcelona to undergo his medical, Deco is looking to wrap up the deal with the Portuguese international as soon as possible. The Barça fans are watching with enthusiasm as an ambitious rebuild takes shape in a bid to rule Europe once again.
