Benfica academy star back on Barcelona’s radar | OneFootball

Bernardo Silva’s name has once again appeared on Barcelona’s radar. According to reports, the Catalan club still dreams of signing the former Benfica star, who is in the final months of his contract with Manchester City and is looking to take his career in a new direction.

As the Portuguese footballer is interested in moving to La Liga, a league where the club is currently the clear leader.

Thus, the ex-Benfica player’s name is once again on the Blaugrana’s radar, after the club attempted to sign him in recent seasons. At the time, Barcelona ended up abandoning the deal, as they did not have the financial means to meet the contract the Portuguese player wanted, similar to what he earns with the Citizens.

Now, as he is nearing the end of his contract, the Portuguese player’s name – who was left out of the national team squad – is gaining traction in Catalonia, and Barcelona hopes to close the deal. On the other hand, the fact that Bernardo Silva is represented by Jorge Mendes is another point in favor of the Blaugrana.

This season, playing for Manchester City, Bernardo Silva – valued at 27 million euros – has already played a total of 42 official matches: 30 in the Premier League, eight in the Champions League, three in the English League Cup, and one in the FA Cup.
