Bernardo Silva lined up for huge transfer to Man City’s European rivals who he has ‘great connection with’
PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN reportedly hope to utilise a “great connection” to snap up Bernardo Silva from Manchester City this summer.
The Cityzens are still celebrating after they clinched an historic Treble on Saturday.
After being crowned Premier League champions last month, they followed that up by sealing the Double nine days ago by beating Man United in the FA Cup Final.
And a legendary campaign was rounded off in superb fashion as Rodri’s goal earned them a 1-0 triumph over Inter Milan in the Champions League Final on Saturday.
Despite that success, Pep Guardiola’s squad could lose a number of talents this summer with skipper Ilkay Gundogan’s future still in doubt.
Now a fresh report is claiming that PSG have made fellow midfielder Silva a top transfer target.
