Barcelona might offer Frenkie de Jong in a swap deal with Bernardo Silva. Technically they have nearly the same amount of market values so this must be the reason why Barcelona want to try their luck in this. However these players don't even play exactly in the same position. Frenkie de Jong is more like a central midfielder and he helps defense mostly as well.
But on the other hand Bernardo Silva is more like an attacking midfielder and he can play as right winger at the same time. I wouldn't expect Manchester City to be okay about losing one of their best attacking players in this way. They would rather expect an only money deal for Silva to think about it. But Barcelona's can't make such signing right now due to financial situations in the La Liga as far as I know.
Wasn't Bernardo Silva previously linked with rumors with a Saudi league team and if this is the latest news, of course this is a good opportunity for Manchester City to get Frenkie De Jong, who is much younger. On the other hand, if this player exchange goes well, of course, their city rivals, namely Manchester United, will be very annoyed with Frenkie De Jong's transfer to Manchester City because we know the Red Devils have been eyeing this player for quite a long time. Even at the beginning of last season, since the leadership of Erik ten Hag, Manchester United still insisted on getting Frenkie De Jong until now.
If Bernardo Silva leaves City in this summer's transfer window, I'm pretty sure he won't be playing for a Saudi club. at least, for the next few seasons Silva will continue to play with top European clubs. referring to transfermarkt, there are three clubs that want the services of this Manchester City player namely, PSG, Al Hilal and Barcelona. but the most frequent rumor in the news is PSG, PSG previously targeted Silva to be their target priority in this summer's transfer window. I even read a few weeks ago that Enrique wanted Silva to join his team. however, so far there has been no follow-up regarding these rumors.
Several other sources have reported that Manchester City star Bernardo Silva has chosen Barcelona as his next club and is prepared to wait as he turns down other offers. Silva is rumored to be turning down a new contract to stay with City, and a lucrative offer from Paris Saint-Germain, but the player is waiting for an offer from the La Liga champions, according to reports from Goal.
well, as we know, it will be difficult for Barcelona to bring Silva to Camp Nou with their financial condition. by the way, if Silva, Mahrez, leave, City will find it difficult to find an ideal replacement. because, Frenkie De Jong is not going anywhere and he will still play with Barcelona. well, this is very interesting for us to follow its development.
