Barcelona’s Silva hopes hinge on De Jong
If Frenkie de Jong doesn’t leave Camp Nou this summer, Barcelona won’t make a move for Bernardo Silva.

Barca might be able to match this asking price, but only by selling De Jong to either Manchester United or Chelsea at €70-80 million. [Mundo Deportivo – in Spanish]
