FC Barcelona with a spectacular transfer in the summer of 2023? Coach Xavi has another dream signing – ŠPORT.SK

today 10:40 | FC Barcelona has drawn up a plan to bring in Bernardo Silva after the season and believes that the transfer of the Manchester City player will be successful, reports the Spanish Sport. The interest of the “Blaugranas” already led to negotiations with the Portuguese player in the summer. Xavi is also traditionally involved in the whole matter and is trying to convince the 28-year-old player to transfer to the Camp Nou. “The Citizens” have known about the desire of their attacking midfielder to leave for almost a year, so they were not surprised when they received the first offer from the Spanish vice-champion. The English even offered the 28-year-old native of Lisbon for sale, and FC Barcelona was really ready to make the transfer, but problems with the registration of new players stood in the way of the agreement. During the already passed summer transfer window, the Catalans understood that it makes no sense to continue trying for a transfer. However, as reported by Sport, Barcelona has already done a large part of the work. Bernardo Silva has already been convinced by the authorities to come to the Camp Nou and this aspect creates a serious basis for a transfer. However, it will probably not be realized until the summer of 2023. Coach Xavi still hopes that he will be able to get the reinforcement of his dreams and that the negotiations between the two parties will resume at the end of the current season. Manchester City recently expected around 100 million euros for the 70-time Portuguese international. His demands will surely be dramatically lower at the end of the current season. The EURO 2020 participant has been on the pitch eight times this season, scoring two goals and providing the same number of assists.
