Pep Guardiola, coach of Manchester City, did not hesitate to stress that he did not want to work with players who did not want to stay in his team and stressed that the arrival of an appropriate offer with the desire of any player to leave would make him agree to leave.
On the other hand, Barcelona lost the efforts of one of its most prominent winger: Ousmane Dembele, who decided to leave the Catalan club and join Paris Saint-Germain. Although it is not yet official, the Blaugrana are already moving to sign their replacement.
And Xavi Hernandez and the sports administration, with the approval of Juan Laporta, identified the most appropriate alternative to Ousmane Dembele, who is Portuguese Bernardo Silva, the English player from Manchester City.
According to the Mundo Deportivo newspaper, Barcelona has stopped all open files in the market to focus only on closing the Bernardo Silva deal, who also wants to wear the Blaugrana shirt, as soon as possible.
Sport newspaper said that Barcelona will offer 65 million euros, in addition to 10 others in the form of variables, to persuade Manchester City to agree to the deal.
And while he was today at the preparatory press conference for the City match against Arsenal in the Charity Shield that will be held next Sunday, Guardiola responded to a question about Barcelona’s interest in signing with Bernardo Silva.
Pep said: “We want Bernardo to stay here, and we will do everything in our power to achieve that, but I do not want any player who does not want to be here, I want to work with players who want to stay. ”
He added, “But we need to get a suitable offer, we have not obtained a suitable offer yet. If they want to sign him, they will get on a plane and come to meet the director of our sports club.”
