Barcelona face competition from two clubs for next Man City target

Having completed a move for Gundogan, Barca are keen to add another Man City star to their ranks.

Paris Saint-Germain and Al Hilal are reportedly competing with Barcelona in a transfer race to sign Bernardo Silva.

The Catalans have completed a free move for Ilkay Gundogan ahead of the next season. They are now keen to shift their attention toward signing another Man City star. But they might face fierce competition from two other clubs for his signature.

According to Goal, Al Hilal submitted a formal offer to Silva earlier this week. However, playing in the Saudi Pro League is not the Portugal international’s only option.

Paris Saint-Germain have also shown interest in signing Silva, hoping to return the top-class star to Ligue 1. Similar to Al Hilal, PSG might tempt the 28-year-old with a big-money offer in the coming weeks.

Silva will make a decision on his future after spending a wonderful season at Man City. The Portugal international played a key role in the Citizens’ historic treble, making 55 appearances for Pep Guardiola’s side.

Asked about his possible move away from City, Silva admitted he hadn’t made a final decision on his future last week.
“I’ll be very honest, I don’t know,” the experienced midfielder said. “We’ll see in the next few days. Even if I knew, it wouldn’t be the space to talk about it [on international duty].”
