The legendary former Barcelona star, Rivaldo, warned Barcelona officials against what he described as Guardiola’s new “theatrical”, and demanded that the club not fall into the trap of the Spanish coach of Manchester City.
Barcelona is going through difficult days these days after the team lost all the tournaments it participated in and left empty-handed under the leadership of Spanish coach Xavi Hernandez.
Joan Laporta seeks to support the Barcelona squad after he reached an agreement with Xavi Hernandez and retracted his decision to leave and stay for another season until the end of his contract, but these plans clash with the complex financial situation that the Blaugrana suffers from, so the sports administration will have to sell some players before signing deals. New.
Among the deals that Xavi wants and considers a priority is the deal of Bernardo Silva, the English midfielder of Manchester City, whom Barcelona tried to sign last summer, but the English club blocked the deal.
But in the upcoming summer transfer market, the situation will be different because Manchester City decided publicly to allow Bernardo Silva to leave when it reduced the release clause in his contract to 58 million euros, conditional on him reaching the age of 30, which will happen during the summer.
Despite this, the required number seems large compared to a 30-year-old player, so it is expected that Barcelona will reach an agreement with Manchester City and the Portuguese player’s agent, Jorge Mendes, for a lower number than that.
Hence, the Barcelona Star newspaper warned that if Bernardo Silva comes to Barcelona this summer, it will be because City wants to.
They put a release clause in his contract this year as a bait. They realize that the player’s luster has diminished, and they took away his best years as a player.
If Barcelona went to ask for Rodri or Foden, they would not allow it, but with Bernardo, they planned for his exit.
The sports department has many doubts about this deal as the player occupies the same space as Lamine on the field.
Also, if he turns into a midfielder, this means the departure of a great player, in addition to his price of 60 million and his age will be 30 years.
Guardiola and Manchester City believe that this is the right time to sell Bernardo Silva after the player gave everything for the club and began to grow old, and Pep is trying to get the greatest return from the deal through his play that he will play against Barcelona.تصفّح المقالات
