LISBON (PORTUGAL) (ITALPRESS) – Bernardo Silva has made his choice, putting his heart before his wallet. According to “A Bola,” the 31-year-old Portuguese midfielder, whose contract with Manchester City is expiring, is close to joining Barcelona, ​​with negotiations now at a very advanced stage.

The player had previously been targeted by the Blaugrana, and the opportunity to play in Spain would allow him to be closer to his family in Lisbon (his wife, Ines, is expecting their second child), hence the accelerated process that should lead to signatures before the start of the World Cup.

As for the contract, Bernardo Silva is expected to sign a two-year deal with an option for a third season worth €8 million per year, half of what he earned at City. While there will also be a signing-on bonus, the Portuguese has accepted a significant pay cut to wear the Barça jersey.
