Goodbye to Barça: The renewal of Bernardo Silva with City already has a date

The future of Bernardo Silva is about to to define, definitively. The Manchester City has been in conversations during the last week with the surroundings of the Portuguese footballer to convince him that it renew his agreement and everything seems to indicate to that they have achieved it. It foresees that, in the next days, will sign a new agreement with which will defend the T-shirt of the 'sky blues' until the summer of 2026.

Silva extends his stay in the Etihad Stadium a year more, put his current agreement won on 30 June 2025. It is one of the key pieces of the approach of Pep Guardiola, the one who at all times has insisted to the directors of the City that him 'retain'. Now, according to a recent information of the journalist Gerard Romero, his renewal will sign before it finalise this week.

It could the Barça fichar to Silva?

It does not be necessary to overlook that this summer, once again and as always, the international with Portugal was linked with a movement to the FC Barcelona. It is not a secret for anybody that has been one of the requests of Xavi Hernández since it landed in the City Condal, in November of 2021, and that since have existed rumours on his possible incorporation. The problem is that the Manchester City never has had intentions to recess his economic expectations... And that the player, in spite of the rumours that it wanted to play in the Barça, never asked to go out.

It is worth it to remember that, from the Etihad Stadium, had left clear from first instance that only went to seat to negotiate the possible exit of the player of 28 years in case that he same communicated that it wanted to do his cases and go out, thing that never occurred, and that some team presented an upper offer to the 80 million euros. The Paris Saint-Germain tried it, but the Barça remained in interest and little more.

The City 'tie' to one of his stars

With the goodbye of Ílkay Gündogan this summer, with destination to the group blaugrana, and the injury of Kevin of Bruyne that will leave him out of action until 2024, the City could not allow lose to another key piece of his centre of the field. It was thus that, especially in the last two weeks, insisitieron in the extension of the agreement to ensure , a year more, that Bernardo Silva will lead to the team from the medullary.
