The Spanish newspaper, Mundo Deportivo, confirmed that FC Barcelona has already started working on completing a deal to replace Ousmane Dembele, who will move to Paris Saint-Germain within hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ousmane Dembele agreed to move to the Parisian team in a deal estimated at 50 million euros, according to Sport.\u00a0Xavi was not happy with the decision of the French winger, denouncing it and asking the Barcelona administration to search for an alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Barcelona they clearly have it. The absolute priority after the departure of Ousmane Dembele, pending official confirmation of his transfer to Paris Saint-Germain, is to sign Bernardo Silva (28 years), from Manchester City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Portuguese midfielder is Xavi’s great wish and, as Mundo Leportivo has learned, the process is already under way with the approval of president Juan Laporta, Mathieu Alemani and Deco, who are all set to work. In fact, other files have been discontinued to focus on the Bernardo file, which will affect the rest of the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And sources from the aforementioned process confirm that it is taking place on a hot plate and that Barcelona is looking for a formula to convince Manchester City, because the player, represented by Jorge Mendes, is infatuated with the idea of \u200b\u200bwearing the Blaugrana shirt.\u00a0Bernardo Silva would be happy to join Barcelona and ready to push for the English club to open the door for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It won’t be easy, but Barcelona and the Portuguese player are confident Pep Guardiola will keep his promise. The Catalan coach promised his player that he would allow him to leave as long as a strong offer arrived, although Bernardo Silva is one of the most important players in City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The player knows this and is very grateful to Pep, who gave him the qualitative leap he needed to become a world-class midfielder. But Barcelona is Bernardo Silva’s wish that comes from afar, since he was a child and he longed to be like Messi, Xavi and Iniesta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He just wants to leave City to go to Barcelona which is why he rejected offers from both Saudi Arabia, as well as from Paris Saint-Germain this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If there is money, then there is an opportunity<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this sense, the \u201cCity\u201d coach has already known Bernardo\u2019s desire since the 2021\/22 season, but Barcelona did not make an official offer last summer either. The player’s environment now expects the Catalans to move better and enter into formal negotiations with Manchester City. They ensure that if there is money, there are real chances of him signing. The important thing here is to launch \u201cfinancial fair play\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With Bernardo Silva arriving at Barcelona, \u200b\u200bit is clear that the team will improve despite Dembele’s departure. They consider the Portuguese a player who is more efficient in big moments, has more impact in matches, contributes more goals and provides more assists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He won’t wait till the end<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the other hand, both FC Barcelona and the player understand that this situation should not continue for long. At the express request of Bernardo. On the one hand, because he does not want the situation that happened in the past two summers to happen again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although he is willing to talk Guardiola into insisting he wants to go to Barcelona, \u200b\u200bthe Portuguese fully respects his current squad.\u00a0He knows he has to move now so Manchester City can go out on the market to find a replacement for him if they let him out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For this reason, Barcelona has also accelerated departures to be able to focus on this complex process. This time they are serious and want to prove it to Bernardo Silva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
