The imminent departure of Ousmane Dembélé to PSG invited FC Barcelona to seek solutions in the market and expedite a purchase that until a few weeks ago was unthinkable. Bernardo Silva , a player who had been a specific request from Xavi Hernández for several transfer windows, was the chosen one. However, after showing formal interest and following the refusal of Manchester City to sell him, the 'azulgranas' have finally decided to withdraw from the fight for the Portuguese.
A few days ago Fabrizio Romano revealed that the 'Citizens' declared the midfielder as an untransferable player, which immediately generated disappointment among the culés fans. "Manchester City has told PSG and Barcelona that they have no intentions of negotiating under any conditions for Bernardo Silva. Manchester City will also offer Bernardo a new contract very soon," wrote the Italian journalist on his Twitter account.
