The Portuguese midfielder is among Barcelona’s top-priority targets this summer.

Bernardo Silva has admitted he might leave Manchester City amid reports linking him with a move to Barcelona.

The Portugal international has been a key player in Pep Guardiola’s lineup in recent seasons, winning four Premier League titles at the club.

As Man City begin another title-defending campaign, reports around Silva’s possible departure have intensified. 

Barcelona have emerged as suitors for Silva, with Spanish media claiming they have already submitted their first bid for the experienced midfielder.

“I’ve always said that I’m happy here, but I have no idea what’s going to happen,” Silva said. “We’ll see, honestly.

“My relationship with the club is very honest. I’ve been open with them, and they know what I want.

“If I stay, I’m very happy, and I will always respect this club and give all my best. If not, it’s football and we’ll just see what happens.

“It’s a big club, and they don’t want players who are not happy at the club. They always say to all of us that if you’re not happy, you can go.

“Of course, they are in business and they want the right amount of money for letting us go, but personally it’s a relationship with the club that is very respectful.

“They have always been honest with me, and I have always been honest with them.

“As I said, I will always respect my relationship with Man City, with the fans, with the staff, with my team-mates. So whatever happens happens, and for sure, it will happen in a very respectful way.”
