At the end of the season, rumors of signings are emerging in the teams with the greatest economic power in Europe. PSG could be the champion of Ligue 1 in the coming weeks and their coach, Christophe Galtier, has been consulted about the possible transfer of Bernardo Silva, one of the standout players of Manchester City. However, the coach was cautious when responding, taking into account that he has a concentrated squad to win in the French League.
"Bernardo Silva? We said no questions about the transfer window, right? Well done. Bernardo Silva is a Manchester City player, you saw his last game where he was still very good, I discovered him at Monaco when Luis Campos drew him. Obviously, he is an interesting player, but I will say it again, he is a Manchester City player," said the coach.

Considered as a replacement for Lionel Messi (who will leave the club when his contract expires at the end of June), Silva made a great impression in the Champions League, scoring two goals against Real Madrid, with a good display of football, and qualifying Manchester City for the final.
The 'Citizen' team returns to the final of the maximum competition, with the dream of lifting the first 'Orejona' in sky blue history. At the end of the match, Bernardo hinted at his departure, stating that "this summer we will see what happens (with his future)."
For now, Silva has a contract with Manchester City until 2025. In addition, he has become one of Pep Guardiola's 'regulars' for important matches. The final decision could be influenced by the achievement of the Champions Trophy.
PSG tried before
This is not the first time that PSG has been interested in the player who represents the Portuguese National Team, as a year ago they attempted a swap deal that involved Neymar as a bargaining chip. The 'Citizens' did not fall into temptation and decided to look the other way, considering that maintaining the solidity of the squad was more important than bringing in a superstar like 'Ney'.
Jorge Mendes, the representative of the Portuguese midfielder, has a good relationship with Luis Campos and that would be the way to make initial contact. The truth is that Manchester City will not receive less than 80 million euros for their player, whom they still consider important and do not rule out offering him a renewal if Guardiola considers it.
