Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva could end his career at FC Barcelona.
“Silva has a special release clause that allows him to sign with Barcelona for €50 million,” Fernando Polo of Spain’s Mundo Deportivo reported on Sunday (Feb. 2).
Silva is an attacking midfielder from Portugal. His ability to break up play is one of his most prominent attributes. He’s also a prodigious worker. He can run between 13 and 14 kilometers per game. He leads the City attack by moving wide, both in the center and on the left and right.
Silva came up through the youth ranks of Portuguese giants SL Benfica. After being called up to the first team in 2014, Silva went on loan to AS Monaco. After performing well on loan, Monaco bought him outright. Silva played for Monaco until 2017.
Ahead of the 2017-18 season, Silva joined Man City, where he reached his peak. In 307 appearances for City, Silva scored 55 goals and provided 54 assists. In total, he won five Premier League titles, two FA Cups, four EFL Cups, and numerous other trophies.
Last season, he was a key part of City’s treble. Silva scored seven goals and provided six assists in 55 games last season to lead City to their first-ever UEFA Champions League title, while also finishing at the top of the FA Cup and Premier League.
Silva has established himself as a key midfielder for City this season as well. Silva has six goals and four assists in 25 Premier League games and one goal in six Champions League games. This season, City are challenging for the treble in back-to-back seasons for the first time in their history.
But there’s a chance that Silva could be playing for Barcelona next season instead of City. Silva can move to Barcelona if Barcelona pays City $72.5 billion. While we don’t know the details of players’ contracts, it’s not uncommon for clubs to include clauses like this.
Barcelona have tried to sign Silva before. Silva was linked to Barcelona when he joined City from Monaco, and after the end of last season, Barcelona began a serious pursuit of the player. Silva ultimately chose to stay at City.
At the end of this season, Barcelona could try to sign Silva again. This is because they already have a midfielder from Man City. At the end of last season, Barcelona 토토사이트 brought in Ilkay Gundogan from Man City. Guindoan has become an indispensable player this season with five goals and 10 assists in 41 appearances.
Going back even further, Sergio Aguero joined Barcelona from Man City. Although he was forced to retire early due to illness, Aguero also finished his career at Barcelona.
Like Guindoan, there’s no reason why Silva shouldn’t play for Barcelona. Barcelona”s financial difficulties mean that it”s unlikely that they”ll be able to pay the $72.5 billion, but if they do, Silva”s move to Barcelona could be a reality.
