Former Manchester City assistant manager Domenec Torrent has claimed Manchester City duo Bernardo Silva and Ilkay Gundogan would suit Barcelona perfectly.

Torrent is of the opinion that both City stars possess the qualities to play for the Catalan side.

Speaking to Caden COPE, Torrent declared Bernardo Silva is a ‘perfect’ Barcelona player, along with Ilkay Gundogan – who is out of contract at the Etihad next summer.

Interestingly, Bernardo Silva has been linked with a move to Barcelona, and is keen on playing for the Blaugrana.

“Bernardo Silva has the perfect qualities to play for Barcelona,” Torrent is quoted as saying.

“He can play between lines in a small space. Like Gündoğan, he is, in my opinion, a type of Barça player. These players can see where the space is and have the patience to receive the ball. This is what Xavi in the midfield wants.”
