The Spanish newspaper 'Sport' reported that Portuguese international Bernardo Silva has shown his inclination to join Barcelona after his contract with Manchester City ends this summer, as he will leave the English club as a free agent, maintaining his desire to continue at the highest level, despite significant offers from Saudi clubs.

The source explained that Bernardo Silva informed his agent Jorge Mendes of his desire to wear the Barcelona jersey, awaiting the decision of the Catalan team's sports management, even though the club is currently focusing on developing existing midfield players and maintaining the current squad, directing investments towards attack and the center-back position.

The source pointed out that Barcelona already has versatile players in the midfield, and Bernardo Silva's joining might depend on an unexpected departure of one of the team's players. The player is also connected to the city of Barcelona and spends his free time there, which increases his attraction to the club.

The newspaper added that the Portuguese player is receiving multiple offers, most notably from Juventus, while Benfica aspires to bring him back. However, his final decision is to leave the English Premier League after completing an important phase of his sports and personal career.
