Paris Saint-Germain eyeing move for Manchester City star Bernardo Silva
Reports have emerged suggesting that Paris Saint-Germain are preparing an enticing offer to secure the signing of Bernardo Silva, the skilled Portuguese midfielder currently with Manchester City.
Silva has been linked with a potential departure from Manchester City in recent times, and PSG appears determined to acquire his services.
Manchester City announced the signing of Silva on the 26th of May, 2017, for a significant sum of €50 million (£43.5 million). The deal, inclusive of performance-related add-ons, had the potential to reach €70 million.
During his time at Manchester City, Silva showcased his talent in 200 appearances, scoring an impressive total of 33 goals. Moreover, he represented Portugal in 82 matches, netting 11 goals for his national team. His market value is currently estimated at €80 million.
Despite Manchester City’s successful campaign, securing a treble victory, Silva’s future continues to attract interest from PSG and Barcelona.

According to reports from Foot Mercato, PSG, under the guidance of Luis Enrique, is eager to bolster their squad by acquiring Silva. The French club is even open to including players in the deal.
The proposed offer from PSG reportedly includes midfielder Marco Verratti and goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma as part of the exchange.
While the inclusion of Verratti could be intriguing for Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, it is worth noting that the club recently acquired Mateo Kovacic, a midfielder with similar attributes.

Manchester City will carefully consider the offer and evaluate its implications, weighing the benefits of a potential player exchange against their existing midfield options.
