The arrival of Bernardo Silva, a superstar player for Manchester City, to Barcelona during this current transfer window is considered to be an impossibility, as stated by journalist Javi Miguel.

It is generally accepted that Barcelona would like to sign at least two new players before the end of the transfer season, specifically a right-back who is ready to contribute immediately and a creative midfielder who can play in the team straight away.

In this sense, Bernardo has been singled out as the top priority candidate; nevertheless, the total cost of the operation would increase due to the fact that his contract with Manchester City is set to extend until 2025.

In addition to Barcelona, teams such as Paris Saint-Germain and one from Saudi Arabia are reportedly interested in acquiring Bernardo Silva. This makes Bernardo Silva one of the players who has been in the most demand during this transfer window.

Now, Barcelona boss Xavi is still the midfielder’s biggest fan, but as was previously stated, City are in no mood to entertain any bid for the 28-year-old and have no intention of doing so in the near future.

In point of fact, after it was reported that City would not stand in the midfielder’s way if he decided to go, they have now designated Silva, whose market value stands at €80 million, as “non-transferable.” This comes after it was reported that City would not stand in the midfielder’s way if he decided to leave.

A wish that will never come true for Barca? As a consequence of this, despite the fact that the player is said to have fantasized about playing for the Catalan squad, it is possible that he will wind up renewing his contract with Man City instead.

The Cityzens are prepared to make an offer for a new deal with him, which would bring his annual salary up to €18 million.

There is a backup plan for Barcelona.

Because of all of this, Barcelona has been compelled to explore for alternate options, and Giovani Lo Celso, who plays for Tottenham Hotspur, has been suggested as a potential replacement.

The Argentina international, who has spent the previous eighteen months on loan at Villarreal, is also desired by Aston Villa and Napoli, but if Barcelona make an offer, it might be difficult for him to turn it down. He has spent the previous eighteen months on loan at Villarreal.

At this moment, everything is dependent on how Barcelona handles their leaving procedures.

If they are successful in releasing certain players off their roster, such as Sergino Dest, Franck Kessie, and Clement Lenglet, they may have the cap space necessary to bring in an additional central midfielder as well as a right defender.

However, given the current state of affairs, an operation for Silva is considered to be a “impossible dream.”
