The high command of Paris Saint-Germain are aware that Kylian Mbappé could leave the club in the current summer transfer window. The French striker has refused to renew his contract beyond June 30, 2024, so president Nasser Al-Khelaifi would have no choice but to sell him this year to recoup some of the millions of euros he spent to retain him. Such a scenario has forced the Parisian board to think of a quality replacement for the man born in Bondy: Bernardo Silva from Manchester City.
According to footmarket, the Portuguese agent Jorge Mendes is a close friend of Luis Campos, sports director of PSG, so both characters have decided to take Bernardo Silva to play on the banks of the Seine. However, at the Etihad Stadium they cannot imagine the departure of the Portuguese footballer.

As the aforementioned source explains, PSG has already offered 70 million euros to Manchester City for the transfer of Bernardo Silva, who has a contract in England until 2025. However, the brand new Champions League champion has refused to release the Portuguese , so in Paris they have reconsidered the offer.
In addition to the 70 million euros, Paris Saint-Germain is willing to include some players in the operation: Marco Verratti, Presnel Kimpembe or Gianluigi Donnarumma. The problem is that Manchester City would not be interested in the footballer who almost no longer counts for coach Luis Enrique.
Bernardo Silva is the piece chosen by PSG to alleviate the possible departure of Kylian Mbappé. PSG wants to build a project of players rather than names and considers the Portuguese an ideal footballer for the proposal that Luis Enrique wants to develop in Paris.

Silva has been an essential part of the multiple titles Manchester City have won since his arrival. He has been a Premier League champion on several occasions, winning the title in the 2017-2018, 2018-2019, 2020-2021, 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons.
