Man City speak to Barca on Bernardo Silva future — Romano

Manchester City have spoken to Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain to tell them that Bernardo Silva is not for sale, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Xavi is seriously interested in adding Bernardo to his squad following the departure of Ousmane Dembele while PSG are also pushing to bring the Portuguese to Paris.

However, Man City's position is that losing Bernardo after the exit of Ilkay Gundogan and Riyad Mahrez this summer will seriously weaken their team.

Romano says Manchester City will offer Silva a new contract with higher wages to make their point clear.

The only way for the 28-year-old to leave City now is if the player expressly states his desire to leave and even hand in a transfer request. In that case, Man City will name a price tag and Barca would have to pay it.
