Barcelona is negotiating a 2026 deal with Bernardo Silva's agency

As Bernardo Silva's contract with Manchester City expires next summer, his future may be a hot topic, according to Caught Offside. Barcelona is already in contact with the Portuguese midfielder over a move in 2026, but it is unclear if he will remain and continue at the Etihad.

In the summer, Pep Guardiola decided to stick with one of Manchester City's most reliable players over the years, Bernardo Silva, as captain for the current campaign. But for a few years now, the Portuguese midfielder has been hoping to quit the team, and the Catalan boss may have persuaded him to stay. With his contract paying out around £300,000-a-week in wages, there were hardly a handful of clubs that could have matched or improved these numbers. Juventus and Napoli are interested in a Bosman move next year, but there are significant doubts about their ability to pay the required wages to the midfielder.
