Barcelona is preparing big offer for Manchester City’s superstar.
As Barcelona step up their efforts to try and sign Bernardo Silva from Manchester City this summer, SPORT is claiming that the Catalan giants are already putting together a proposal that they will table for his acquisition.
NewsReport Nigeria gathered that with Ousmane Dembele set to seal his move away to PSG imminently, Barça has made Silva their priority target and has already set things in motion to explore the possibility of his arrival.
The player, for his part, is understood to be keen on the move and has even turned down lucrative offers from PSG and Saudi Arabia as he waits for the La Liga champions.

Now, SPORT is claiming that Barcelona is preparing an offer for Silva after carefully studying their financial situation.
The Catalan giants have drawn up a scenario factoring in the revenue generated from the imminent sales of Dembele and Franck Kessie and the possible exit of Clement Lenglet, along with the income from the sale of a 16% stake in Barça Studios.
Based on this, Barcelona is preparing a maximum offer that will not breach Financial Fair Play regulations and exceed the salary limit.
As such, the report claims that the La Liga champions are preparing an offer worth €65 million plus another €10 million in variables, which are almost guaranteed to be triggered.

The Catalans hope that Manchester City accepts the total package worth €75 million for Silva, even though the English and European champions have recently turned down an €80 million offer from PSG for the player.
Furthermore, the report adds that for the deal to go through, it would be fundamental that the €65 million fixed fee be paid in installments over some years and that the player accepts an incremental contract with a low salary in his first year.
Silva’s will could be key. A lot of things will need to fall into place for Barcelona to succeed in their endeavors. However, the player’s desire to move to Catalonia may provide them with an advantage.
It has previously been reported that Silva could be willing to force an exit from Manchester City if Barça came through with a solid proposal, and with the Catalans putting together an offer, the Portuguese ace might ask his club to sanction an exit.
The Blaugrana are aware that their proposal and conditions are not ideal, but they hope that Pep Guardiola’s side honor the player’s wishes.
It is very complicated, and the feeling of pessimism persists, but efforts will be made, and it remains to be seen whether the city is convinced by Barcelona’s offer.
