Bernardo Silva, €50m release clause just for Barcelona

Bernardo Silva arrived at Manchester City in the summer of 2017 when the Citizens agreed to pay Monaco €50 million.

Since then, the Portuguese international has earned his place in Pep Guardiola’s starting line-up and has made no fewer than 343 appearances for the team at the Etihad Stadium.

In addition, the 29-year-old proved his quality and contributed to no less than 128 goals scored by City (64 goals and 64 assists).

In the winter, Silva told the management of the English champions that he wanted a new challenge, and Mundo Deportivo journalists report that there is a special clause in the contract of the Portuguese, according to which Barcelona could only transfer him for 50 million euros.

Bernardo Silva, who is currently valued at €80 million according to Transfermarkt, was brought up in the famous academy of Lisbon’s Benfica, where he made his professional football debut and also played for AS Monaco in his career.

This Premier League season, Silva has 6 goals and 4 assists in 25 matches.

With Manchester City, he won five league titles, two FA Cups, four League Cups, two FA Super Cups, the UEFA Champions League, the European Super Cup and the Club World Cup.
