, Bernardo Silva ‘tells Man City he wants to QUIT for Barcelona’ in transfer that could see Man Utd land Frenkie de Jong

THE potential sale of Frenkie de Jong to Manchester United could determine whether Barcelona make a move to land Bernardo Silva, according to reports.

Man Utd are desperate to land De Jong, who is boss Erik ten Hag’s No1 target.

De Jong’s transfer to Man Utd could help fund Barca’s move for Silva
SPORT say Silva has already said ‘yes’ to Barca

United have agreed a £56.2million fee with Barca, with Ten Hag convincing De Jong to make the move.

The former Ajax boss has reportedly told the midfielder that he will be central to his plans, “conducting his orchestra”.

And according to Sport, the sale of De Jong could determine whether Barca make a move for long-term target Silva, who is looking at the move “favourably”.

Man City will not drop four-time Premier League winner Silva‘s price below £86m, despite the player communicating his desire to join Barca.

However, Barca are keen to start negotiations at around £51.6m.

And should the sale of De Jong go through, “a lot of muscle can be injected” into landing 27-year-old Portugal international Silva.

City boss Pep Guardiola has publicly stated Silva’s importance to his team, with the player contracted until 2025.

But has insisted he won’t keep players around who DON’T want to be at the club.

Guardiola said: “Today I think Bernardo Silva will continue.

“But as I’ve always said, since my time at Barca, I don’t want players who don’t want to be there.

“What I can say is that Bernardo is important to us.”
