According to information from SPORT, Barcelona is ready to sell midfielder Frenkie de Jong in the next summer transfer window to recruit Bernardo Silva of Manchester City.

Barca has long considered Man City’s Silva one of its top transfer priorities. The Portuguese star, after nearly 7 years of dedication at Etihad Stadium, has become one of the top midfielders in Europe at the moment.

Coach Xavi himself is also a big fan of the 29-year-old’s talent and wants Silva to land at Camp Nou to share the fire with Pedri, who is often injured and cannot play regularly.

Of course, with a world-class star like the midfielder born in 1994, the Blaugrana will definitely have to make a generous offer to convince both The Citizens and the former AS Monaco star. According to Spanish media, Barca may have to spend at least 50 million euros if they want to receive a nod from Man City.

However, in the context of many financial difficulties, the Camp Nou home team will likely consider the option of selling some other pillars and according to sources from SPORT, the Catalan club’s top brass are considering “beheading”. ” Midfielder De Jong next summer to raise funds to recruit Silva as well as create space in the salary budget to avoid exceeding the limit set by the La Liga organizing committee.

De Jong is currently the target of Manchester United as well as Bayern Munich, so Barca can earn at least 70 million euros if they accept to let the Dutch star leave.

 

But it will not be easy for Blaugrana to achieve their ambitions because many times this season, De Jong personally voiced his desire to stay with the Camp Nou team and did not accept leaving in the near future.
