Bernardo Silva

[RayCTID]

Barcelona can't afford to sign Bernardo Silva this season.

Pep is trying to be positive, but I'm not convinced.

Barcelona can't afford to sign both Lewandowski and Silva in one transfer window.

Maybe i'm a little thick but I don't understand how Barca are desperate to offload DeJong as they need to cut the wage bill but then plan on replacing him with Bernardo. If it was a case of offloading DeJong and bringing through an academy player and getting a transfer fee as well as greatly reduced wages then fair enough but i don't see how this deal benefits Barca to the level they need it to.

Also would we really sell a player to Barca for a huge fee given the financial mess they are in?

Probably what happened with Arthur & Pjanic deals - pretend both De Jong & Bernardo went for 80mil. They’d have 80mil in on their books, but 16mil cost (80/5) for Bernardo, so it’d be net 64m for the season.

Also, they’ve sold their future broadcast rights so they’ve got more cash to deal with.

That being said, Silva’s worth twice what De Jong is in my eyes, and that’s without being biased.

i think the reasons about Bernardos unhappiness aren`t the weather, the Iberian lifestyle or missing his family. I´m pretty sure he would decline a transfer to Benfica.

It`s about the wage (level of Sterling,Grealish or KDB) or he`s a fan of Barcelona.

The contract with bumper salary is supposedly there should he want it.

Just a quick snippet regarding Bernardo.

I've just picked my lad and his uncle (who has an apartment at the edge) up from the airport from a mad weekend in Amsterdam. One of the lads on the trip fits kitchens. This same lad is fitting a marble kitchen at Bernardo's new house next week.

Just passing it on...

Boosting the sale price of the apartment before selling:-)

Is that how amortisation works ? FDJ cost 65million. 5 year contract. There for 3.5 seasons. So surely 45.5 million already accounted for in the accounts. If sold for 80 million, the net profit would be 34.5 accounting wise. 16 million for Bernie, would leave an accounting profit of 18.5 million.
I really am not sure on this so please correct me if I am mistaken.

I didn’t factor in FDJ‘s original fee, so you could well be right mate, I genuinely have no idea haha. Just know that selling a player and bringing one in is beneficial for amortisation, even if it doesn’t lead to a net profit.

Just read up on Bernardo's season stats on the City site. Had forgotten his wonder strike versus Sporting Lisbon. The guy is unbelievably good. Bidding starts at £150 million please or no deal.
