Barcelona Open Talks With Bernardo Silva’s Camp as Saudi Clubs and Juventus Circle

Manchester City face a decision with their captain’s deal running to 2026.

Overview

  • Reports say Barcelona, led by sporting director Deco, have contacted Bernardo Silva’s representatives and are eyeing a free transfer that would suit Hansi Flick’s plans.
  • Saudi sides Al Ahli, Al Qadsiah and Al Nassr are preparing multi‑year proposals with wages around £500,000 (€575,000) per week plus large signing bonuses, according to the latest reporting.
  • Juventus are interested but would likely require Silva to reduce his current pay, which is widely reported at about £300,000 (€345,000) per week.
  • With his contract expiring in 2026, Silva can negotiate a pre‑contract with foreign clubs from January 1, 2026, leaving City to weigh an extension, a January sale or letting the deal run down.
  • The 31‑year‑old remains a key figure and current captain under Pep Guardiola, though recent coverage notes a dip in form this season.
