With Barcelona seemingly close to sealing one of their most high-profile summer deals, recent hours have seen a development that could completely change the player’s path and open the door for other suitors to enter the race strongly.
According to the information of the Catalan newspaper “Sport”, the management of “Barcelona” has begun to backtrack on signing a contract with the former star of “Manchester City” Portuguese Bernardo Silva, due to financial complications related to the transaction, in addition to… The latest announcements of the players.
The newspaper explains that the Catalan club have made significant progress in negotiations with the player, capitalizing on his long-standing desire to wear a Barcelona shirt, and that the two sides have even reached a preliminary understanding on a two-season contract extension.
But the scene gradually changed after Bernardo Silva decided to postpone a decision on his future until after the World Cup after receiving strong financial offers from several European clubs, forcing Barcelona to reassess their stance.
The club’s management believes that entering into a financial bid is not in line with its current priorities, especially since the midfield includes a large number of players and that signing Silva was seen in the market as an exceptional opportunity rather than an urgent technical necessity.
Sport added that Atletico Madrid are moving aggressively to convince the player with an offer that includes a large signing bonus and a long-term deal, while guaranteeing a key role in the team.
On the other hand, Real Madrid could benefit from this Catalan drop, especially talking about the possibility of the Royal Club to explore the deal in the coming period, especially after the expected technical changes in the sports project and the signing of the Portuguese Jose Mourinho to coach the team.
Although the door to a move to Barcelona is not permanently closed, the delay in finalizing the player and the high financial demands have made the deal more distant than ever, which could give rival clubs a golden opportunity to poach one of Europe’s most popular stars in recent years.
