Thus, from the dispatches of the Camp Nou are doing all the possible for finding the way to tackle the signing of the player, since when being one of the figures of the Manchester City will not be a simple operation.

In the first place, the figure that expect to perceive in the Etihad Stadium rondaría the 80 million euros, numbers to which the Barça, to day of today, only could access to concretise the sale of Frenkie of Jong. Nevertheless, the Dutch has refused categorically the opportunity to abandon the changing rooms of the Camp Nou, and although the culés already have pactado his traspaso with the Manchester United, the refusal of the ex of the Ajax has supposed a big problem for the planning of the culés.

Now, a new setback would have appeared in the Catalan horizon.

And it is that the lisboeta is one of the most important players of the team, by what achieve to the ideal substitute with little timeframe will not be simple task for the entity.

By his part, the participation of the '20' mancuniano in the operation will be key so that this arrive to good port. The Portuguese is conscious that the City has the for this campaign when being one of the most stood out footballers of the plantel, by what once the Barça launch his offensive final, east will have to put of his part to achieve the traspaso. Silva dreams with playing in the Camp Nou and has left 'tracks' on the way in the last days, but to the hour of the 'truth' will have to take a step forward and expose him his wish so much to Guardiola as to Txiki Begiristain. The time runs against of the culés.
