Zapping World Eleven EXCLUDED: Christopher Nkunku’s “Little Brother” interview!
It was one of the soap operas of the summer in Catalonia. After having signed Robert Lewandowski, Jules Koundé, Raphinha, Andreas Christensen, Franck Kessié or even extended Ousmane Dembélé, Barça launched an attack on a final player: Bernardo Silva. And if Joan Laporta had hitherto managed a 100% in his transfer window, this time he had to bow, the Portuguese international finally remaining in the north of England with Manchester City. But the Blaugrana president is not one to let down, like his coach Xavi. The two men have all but abandoned this track, and intend to revive it quickly, as explained Mundo Deportivo.
The player always inclined to come?
The newspaper explains that the former AS Monaco remains the priority track for the Catalans for the next summer transfer window, his profile corresponding perfectly to what the former brilliant midfielder is now looking for at the head of the club. But like last summer, to tackle this issue, FC Barcelona will have to cut back by selling players to reduce an ever-increasing payroll. As a reminder, the left-hander is under contract until 2025 with the Citizens. His agent, Jorge Mendes, close to Laporta, will also be decisive in the conclusion of this file. The Spanish media speaks of an estimated sale price of 80 million euros. Pep Guardiola, as he has always done since his arrival in the Kingdom, will not oppose a transfer if his player tells him he wants to leave, provided he finds a financial agreement with his former team. What offer us months of rumors of all kinds.
to summarize
Barça will try again for Bernardo Silva next year, the Blaugrana had tried to sign him during the last transfer window without success. The Catalans will also use their proximity to Jorge Mendes, his agent.
