Bernardo Silva

[Del_Bosque]

Less than we got for Torres

Less than Cucurella went for

There needs to be a shake up in the way we sell players, release clauses in contracts and deadlines for them (before the start of the season)

Catalans bending over for Barcelona after all the shit they have given us with FFP and Messi

Give over. It's been clear for a while that he wants to leave, but he's one of the most popular players in the squad and a consummate professional. The atmosphere is never going to become "toxic", even if he ends up staying.

At this rate, i'd have him playing behind Cole Palmer.

Romero has become extremely reliable for Barca news made Chelseas fan base look like idiots when everyone in the media said kounde and raphinha were going Chelsea. So I wouldn't fully disregard this news

He is on the payroll at Barca 100%. Laporta will have told him this directly.

Could all be smoke and mirrors still as they are trying to do several other deals but its come from one source definitely.

I’d say we’d need to bring in 2 players to replace.

And how many players did we replace David Silva with? Or is Berna better than David?

 

[Gumzy97]

Sick to the stomach… 55 million.

That's dreadful

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

wow, this is really sad news if true

It's true. Was close last summer. The only questions are the fee and can Barca get him registered. I can see Barca wanting minimum up front, got to be £100m when all done. And the salary cap and forcing players out and taking pay cuts is literally criminal.

Sick to the stomach… 55 million.

Selling Bernardo Silva for £46m is just not beleivable.

I'm normally one to laugh at the Txiki out brigade but if that's even close to being the actual figure then someone has some explaining to do.

 

[Trickyblues]

This has to be a distraction from the fact they can’t register their players.

 

[richards30]

and we better replace him with someone top level!!! The squad is getting ripped apart because we are so nice? De Jong maybe? Move Grealish or foden central and get Felix?

I’d be very wary about joining Barcelona if I were Bernardo.

The guy is class, but his output in numbers will be replaced relatively easily. His work rate less so.

I feel he is leaving the best place for him as a footballer, and he’s clearly well liked and will be leaving a lot of friends behind.

I think, accumulatively, the reasons have added up for his need to move and he’s clearly been set on it for a long time. Mendy, the FA, lack of personal accolade for that insane 18/19 season for club and country, lockdown and so on.
