From it does some days comes insisting in that Xavi wants to have a midfield player that can play of '10' and that Bernardo Silva is the altlernativa that more likes him, but is an operation more than complicated by the economic requirements of the Manchester City.

It is on the table the option that they arrive to an agreement by a cession, but will not be so simple as they wanted to them culés because the 'colchoneros' pretend to repeat the formula with which Joao Félix left to London the past season, with a loan 'valued' in eleven 'kilos' more the index card of the footballer. In total, the operation would elevate to the €18m.
Another possibility is that they include players of the current staff of the Barça in the operation, but neither 'ensure' that can complete it. Lappoint you of Franck Kessié and Ferran Torres are on the table, but will be the Atleti the one who have the last word. Anything could happen, but is a movement with a lot of 'details' that they have to resolve the blaugrana.
