It seems as though Barcelona will be focusing on the Bernardo Silva transfer drama. After all, the club is willing to make serious attempts to recruit the 28-year-old offensive midfielder, who is manager Xavi Hernandez’s top aim.

But Manchester City has made it clear that they won’t negotiate the sale of their star playmaker and won’t allow him to go this summer.

Despite this, the Premier League and European champions rejected the Blaugrana’s formal bid for Silva during the past weekend.

However, the player’s decision to take a stand now suggests that the drama has undergone some significant change.

Silva informs Guardiola of his desire to join Barcelona.Silva has reportedly told Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola that he wants to quit the team this summer in order to sign with Barcelona, according to Roger Torello of Mundo Deportivo.

The player had not been getting involved, but after seeing the Blaugrana take concrete action to sign him, he has now made the decision to make his opinion known.

Silva, according to the source, believes that his time at the Etihad Stadium has come to an end because he has achieved all imaginable success with the team over the past six years.

Silva is a Barcelona fan. He has told Guardiola that he now believes the time is ripe to follow his childhood dream of playing for Barça.

The player is said to believe that this may be his last chance to join the Catalan club and realize his goal. It is also reported that the Portuguese international and his partner are attracted by the city of Barcelona.

For his part, Guardiola had stated last year that the team would not obstruct the player if he requested to leave and a suitable offer was made.

It will now be up to the two teams to negotiate and come to a deal that benefits all parties concerned, which will be easier said than done given that Silva has apparently made his ambitions known.
