It has become certain that Barcelona will seek, during the coming period, to sign Portuguese midfielder Bernardo Silva, midfielder and Manchester City playmaker, at the request of the Catalan coach, Xavi Hernandez.
Javier Tebas, president of the Spanish League, had confirmed that Barcelona would not be able to conclude any deals, in light of Barcelona’s debt crisis, in addition to financial losses in its budget.

The Barcelona Board of Directors was forced to hold an emergency meeting last Tuesday, in order to discuss ways to solve the financial crisis facing the club, to compensate for the budget deficit that exceeded the 500 million euro barrier.
The Barcelona administration has reached several economic decisions that will improve the financial situation of the club, help it compensate for the budget deficit, and pay the overdue debts amounting to about 100 million euros.
The image during the last period, on the face of Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez, seemed to suggest anger and the expectation of a new failed season for Barcelona, if the team was not strengthened with players capable of improving quality.
Xavi’s list of demands from the Barcelona president included retaining the services of Frenkie de Jong, or the inclusion of the Portuguese Bernardo Silva from Manchester City if the Dutchman leaves.
In this context, the Spanish newspaper, El Nacional, revealed that Barcelona President Juan Laporta spoke with Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola about his midfielder Bernardo Silva.
The newspaper said that the Catalan club president asked Guardiola to facilitate the transfer of Bernardo Silva from Manchester City to Barcelona, especially that the Catalan team would be forced in any way to sell one of its players.
The Spanish newspaper claimed that Guardiola will facilitate the transfer of Bernardo Silva to the Blaugrana, especially since the Portuguese player has a desire to do so.
But the newspaper blew up a big surprise, which may be the departure of the young Pablo Jaffe to Manchester City, in light of the fact that his contract with Barcelona has not yet been renewed, despite the management’s conversation with his agent more than once.
Pablo Jaffe’s contract with Barcelona is scheduled to expire in the summer of 2023, as he has become the first candidate, accompanied by Dutchman Frenkie de Jong, to leave the Catalan club in Mercato, in light of the severe financial crisis.
