Paris Saint-Germain are still keen on signing Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva and could try to lure him away from the Premier League champions this summer.
The 29-year-old was instrumental in helping City retain their Premier League title for the fourth consecutive year, marking Silva’s sixth time lifting the trophy in seven seasons at the club.
The aging midfielder is regarded as one of the best players in world football, developing into a team that has tied the likes of Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden, but is set to leave the Etihad Stadium for the better part of three years. .
Barcelona have long been interested in Silva but have never been in a strong financial position to offer, while PSG have long prized the Portuguese’s talents. In previous windows, Manchester City valued Silva at around £80m and had no desire to sell him.
Silva signed a contract extension until June 2026 in August last year, which includes a £50m release clause that will take effect next year, but remains a major target for PSG, who are preparing for life after Kylian Mbappe.

Champions League for the first time.
A wide player, a central midfielder – roles that Silva can fill adequately – a striker and a defender are the four key positions in Luis Enrique’s team.
Whether or not Silva can be persuaded to leave City remains to be seen, and it may take an offer of €75m (£63.8m) for the eight-time Premier League winners to sell them – Pep Guardiola is more than happy. happy with Silva and would like him to stay at the club.
At the very least, PSG have decided to sign Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle United, and will not compromise their Gavi dream; another player they are very interested in but one Barcelona are considering crossing the line if they consider the 19-year-old as their club’s future captain.
