Speaking to fans in his car on Monday, Barcelona President Joan Laporta was asked about signing Silva, to which he responded, ‘I would like do so right now’, as per MD.
According to Spanish outlet Sport, a move for Silva is almost impossible, given the La Liga champions’ financial woes with the salary limit.
Barca must sell before considering any next target as they need to make space and cuts.
Vitor Roque is the latest reinforcement, but can not feature until the summer of 2024, while Real Madrid successfully hijacked Arda Guler, even though the Catalan giant had approached first.
Ilkay Gundogan arrived at Camp Nou as a free transfer, and it is the ideal strategy to help Barca during their financial crisis.
Is Silva impossible to sign?
According to Gerard Romero, Silva’s agent, Jorge Mendes, has been in contact with Barca and is pushing for the midfielder to be a Blaugrana.
Silva is reportedly willing to reduce his salary to fit the financial conditions. Barça have already contacted La Liga, but a BIG sale is needed.
Meanwhile, Mirror Football revealed that Frenkie de Jong might be offered in a deal for Barcelona to sign Bernardo Silva, which is not good news for the Barca fan.
