However, he was not insensitive to a transfer to Paris. In particular because his wife wanted to leave Manchester and join the French capital. But according to information from the Parisian, Bernardo Silva will not be a PSG player this summer. Even if the Portuguese winger, under contract until 2025, has long been the priority of the capital club, faced with the refusal of the leaders of Manchester City, PSG has decided to abandon this file.

The former Monaco player could therefore bounce back to the side of the Spanish championship and join his former teammate Gundogan on the side of FC Barcelona. Or quite simply, and this is the big trend, staying at Manchester City, under the orders of a Pep Guardiola who cannot do without it. With the departure of Mahrez to Saudi Arabia, the Spanish technician would have repeated to his leaders the importance of not parting with the delicious 28-year-old left-hander.

Very close to recruiting Ousmane Dembélé, Paris SG had made the recent European champion with the Citizens its top priority in midfield. Fabulous player, endowed with a rare game intelligence and able to evolve in several positions, the former Monegasque ticked all the boxes to bring a real plus to the champions of France. Which is far from being the case for all Parisian summer recruits so far.
