Manchester City will be forced to sell one of its stars to sign its two main targets for this summer market: Harry Kane and Jack Grealish. If Pep Guardiola's men end up taking over the two players, the amount that the citizens will pay for the internationals of the English team will exceed 250 million euros. After the information published by The Sun about Kane's increasingly close departure from Tottenham, this English media has also put a name and surname of the footballer that the Citizens would sacrifice to sign the English striker: Bernardo Silva.
The Portuguese midfielder would finally be the victim despite the fact that Riyad Mahrez, Raheem Sterling, Aymeric Laporte and Gabriel Jesús have also sounded on several occasions as candidates to leave the club. While the Algerian was a fundamental piece for Pep Guardiola During the past year and Sterling has revalued during the Eurocup, the Brazilian forward was informed that they had him for the next season despite the interest shown by Juventus to sign him. Kun Agüero's departure after a decade at Manchester City has left a hole in the team's lead.
According to The Sun, Bernado Silva “would have expressed his desire to play in Spain”, and this was communicated to Manchester City last season. Bernardo Silva participated in 45 matches during the 2020/21 academic year in which he scored a total of five goals and distributed nine assists.
In any case, the English team has been raising money during the summer without having to sell to its stars. Without disbanding but thanks to the management of the transfers and the transfer clauses, Manchester City has already entered a good pinch thanks to the sales of Lukas Nmecha (Wolfsburg), Jack Harrison (Leeds), Angeliño (RB Leipzig) … and that of Jadon Sancho, who despite being a Manchester United signing to Borussia Dortmund, has provided some 11 million to the citizen team.
