Barcelona in trouble: the price of Bernardo Silva, a "transfer" that seems unreachable.

The transfer market in Europe shows constant movement in each period. Barcelona always seems to be one of the interested parties in renewing positions, something that seems to be a problem due to the recent economic issues. LaLiga pointed out that they need to adjust numbers to incorporate players. One of the targets is Bernardo Silva from Manchester City, a team that has already revealed its value.

There are other needs in the squad and there is no room for major investments in transfers due to financial fair play. Given this scenario, it is expected to be difficult for the Portuguese midfielder to wear the Barcelona colors next season, but in England they have revealed the price for which he could leave the club.

With a contract until 2025, Bernardo Silva is highly valued by the top clubs in Europe and, according to the '90 min' portal, his price would be valued at 85 million euros. The amount is somewhat inaccessible for Barcelona in anticipation of the moves they make in the summer.

Barcelona has already sought to sign the Portuguese in the last two transfer windows, but did not reach an agreement with Manchester City and remained in the Premier League. His desire is to play in Spain as part of a new experience in his professional career.

In the current season, Bernardo has scored five goals and provided seven assists and continues to be important for Guardiola, although he is not an undisputed starter due to the strong competition in the 'citizen' squad. The offensive front could be one of the main movements for the Barcelona team.

LaLiga's stance

Economic problems would be the main obstacle to completing his arrival. Javier Tebas, president of LaLiga, spoke about the club's situation and stressed that they will have to make a great effort if they want to have players like Lionel Messi among their ranks.

"Here we don't look at whether they bring the documentation for Messi or Mbappé. We don't look, as they say, if Leo is given special treatment in LaLiga. What is clear is that there is economic control and to incorporate players, it must be complied with," said Tebas during the presentation of the annual Economic Report of the 2022-23 championship.
