Bernardo Silva is currently one of the hottest prizes available in the transfer market right now as the experienced playmaker will become a free agent after running down his contract at Manchester City.
Silva has already been linked with a move to a number of clubs, but it appears La Liga could be his likely destination with Barcelona and Atletico Madrid emerging as potential suitors.
Barcelona, in particular, have been touted as a potential destination for the Portuguese international.
Silva admits Barcelona option
Now, Silva himself has admitted that Barcelona are indeed an option as he looks to take the next step in his career.
Speaking to a Portuguese newspaper, Silva said he hasn’t yet made a final decision on his future, but Barça remain pretty much an option.
“Barça? It’s an option I have, but I haven’t made a decision yet,” he said (h/t Diario SPORT).
The Portuguese international, though, did not opt to go into detail about his contracts with Barcelona, offering a more vague outlook on his future.
“The truth is I have many options, and I’m not going to talk about a specific club if I haven’t made a decision and haven’t signed with that club,” he said.
“I’m going to try to be on a team where I’m wanted, where I feel truly wanted. That’s very important to me,” he added.
Barcelona move still likely?
Barcelona are tipped as the club leading the race to sign Bernardo Silva this summer, but the club are facing a few roadblocks.
They need to acquire the approval of Hansi Flick, who is concerned about overstacking. Perhaps more importantly, the club need to sanction the sale of a few fringe players in order to make room for Silva.
Therefore, it won’t be surprising to see the Silva transfer saga drag on until July – something the media has reported in recent times.
