Man City news: Club CEO Ferran Soriano has said it is too late to negotiate a sale of Bernardo Silva amid interest from Barcelona.

Silva has attracted transfer interest from FC Barcelona, with the Catalan outfit keen to secure the services of the highly-rated Portuguese international. Barcelona had also shown interest in Silva last summer, but a move never materialized.

Man City does not want to lose Silva, particularly at this stage with less than two weeks remaining before the transfer window closes. The defending Premier League champions are also standing firm on their valuation of Silva. City valued the player at €100m at the start of the summer.

Silva has also vowed to give his all to Man City this season, seemingly putting an end to the uncertainty surrounding his future. The Athletic have also reported that Silva is ready to commit his immediate future to the Manchester outfit.

Manchester City news: “It’s a bit late to talk about arrivals and departures”: Soriano

Man City is currently in Spain to face Barcelona in a friendly match. Speaking ahead of the match, Man City CEO Soriano revealed they are unlikely to sell Silva at this stage in the transfer window.

“It’s a bit late to talk about arrivals and departures,” Soriano said in an interview with Cadena SER’s ‘Què t’hi jugues’ programme, as quoted by SPORT.

Meanwhile, Silva has featured in all four games Man City have played so far this season. He played right from the start until the end in their 3-1 defeat to Liverpool in the FA Community Shield final.

Silva also came off the bench in Man City’s first two Premier League games of the 22/23 season. He also started and starred for Man City in their third Premier League game of the season.

Silva scored a goal and provided an assist as Man City and Newcastle United shared points in a 3-3 draw.

Meanwhile, Silva has been playing for Man City since joining the side from AS Monaco in 2017. Silva has since featured in 255 games for Man City and has scored 49 goals.

Silva made 50 appearances for Man City last season as they won the Premier League title. 35 of those appearances came in the Premier League, where he also scored eight goals.

Silva last renewed his contract with Man City in 2019. He signed a six-year deal with Man City, meaning he has three years left on his current contract with the club.
