Barcelona have been linked with a move for Manchester City star Bernardo Silva.

The 28-year-old midfielder has been a brilliant player for Man City, but Barcelona are now interested in signing him.

Bernardo Silva has said he’s open to a move to Barcelona, but he won’t fight or disrespect Manchester City over a transfer.

“I’ve always said that I’m happy here, but I have no idea what’s going to happen,” the 28-year-old told ESPN. “We’ll see, honestly.

“My relationship with the club is very honest. I’ve been open with them and they know what I want.

“If I stay, I’m very happy, and I will always respect this club and give all my best. If not, it’s football and we’ll just see what happens.”

Silva adds that his relationship with City will “always” be ‘respectful’ no matter what happens while hinting the club will not stand in their way should he officially ask to join Barcelona – which is something Sky Sports have reported this week.

“It’s a big club, and they don’t want players who are not happy at the club,” he continued. “They always say to all of us that if you’re not happy, you can go.

“Of course, they are in business and they want the right amount of money for letting us go, but personally it’s a relationship with the club that is very respectful. They have always been honest with me and I have always been honest with them.

“As I said, I will always respect my relationship with Man City, with the fans, with the staff, with my teammates, so whatever happens happens and for sure, it will happen in a very respectful way.”
