Manchester City are now reportedly ready to sell Bernardo Silva for £75 million amid interest from Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.

Manchester City ready to sell Bernardo Silva

90min have reported that Manchester City are willing to cash in on Silva in the summer transfer window.

The defending Premier League champions will not stand in the way of the Portugal international midfielder if they get £75 million in transfer fees for him.

City paid AS Monaco £43 million for Silva back in the summer of 2017 (Sky Sports).

According to 90min, Silva wanted to leave for Barcelona last summer, but City did not sell him.

Barcelona came for Silva again in the January transfer window, but City stopped the Portuguese star from leaving.

The La Liga club remain keen on Silva, who also has interest from PSG, and 90min have reported that City have now made a U-turn over their stance and are willing to sell the 28-year-old, described as a “special” player who “can play everywhere because he understands the game perfectly and every action with and without the ball” by manager Pep Guardiola on Sky Sports last month.
