3 better signings for Barcelona than Bernardo Silva

Barcelona were linked to signing Bernardo Silva for at least a year, with transfer rumors reaching a seeming crescendo last month when Joao Felix started recruiting his countryman (even though Felix might not be back after his loan deal expires). Lately, though, the Silva speculation has cooled, because there's a realization that, at nearly 60 million euros, his release clause isn't necessarily a bargain. The Manchester City star remains world-class in midfield and on the right wing, but he will be 30 when the 2024/25 season begins, and Barcelona fans are a bit tired of the club only signing superstars once they hit 30. Here are three younger alternatives Barcelona could sign for about the same price in the summer 2024 transfer window. RB Leipzig AM Xavi Simons A permanent trans...

The 3 players Barcelona would have to considering selling in order to sign Bernardo Silva

Barcelona have been closely linked to Manchester City forward and attacking midfielder Bernardo Silva over the past couple of months, but the transfer rumors are starting to cool down as the reality of a deal starts to set in. On paper, acquiring Bernardo Silva sounds like a dream for Barcelona. Silva is one of the best and most versatile players in the world - and all-around attacking weapon who is a willing and able ball-winner. However, even with a release clause, Barcelona would have to severely strain themselves financially in order to acquire Silva from Manchester City, because the Portuguese international will cost nearly 60 million euros. Signing Silva would come at the cost of upgrading key positions like the left wing and defensive midfield, and with Silva set to turn 30...

Transfer Rumors: The surprising reason why Barcelona don’t want Bernardo Silva

Barcelona are in need of more star power in the summer 2024 transfer window after falling behind badly in the LaLiga title race and then getting embarrassed again in the Champions League knockout rounds - by PSG, no less. Manchester City right winger and midfielder Bernardo Silva is one top name suggested as an upgrade for Barcelona, and his possible transfer was reportedly discussed during the talks to keep Xavi as manager for the 2024/25 season. However, Diario Sport is now reporting that Barcelona do not view Bernardo Silva as a priority on the transfer market, because they think his 58 million euro release clause is actually excessively expensive. Barcelona feel that spending that much money on a 29-year-old player is too much. Furthermore, they view signing a defensive midfie...

Barcelona talks to keep Xavi involve signing one world-class transfer target

Barcelona president Joan Laporta and sporting director Deco have reportedly convinced Xavi to stay on as the manager of the club, which may have something to do with the fact that most of the top options are no longer available. Earlier this season, amidst intense pressure from supporters and from within the club after a string of negative results, Xavi agreed to resign from Barcelona at the end of the season. Over the past several weeks, there's been a change in the winds, with Laporta trying hard to convince Xavi to stay. Even after the embarrassing 4-1 loss to PSG in the Champions League quarterfinals at the Camp Nou, Xavi will be remaining in Barcelona. The legendary midfielder has reportedly been given assurances of optimism that Barcelona will be able to spend a euro for eve...
