Multiple sources today have confirmed that the race to sign Bernardo Silva is heating up, with Barcelona reportedly submitting an official bid for the midfielder. The offer is being considered by Manchester City , but it remains to be seen whether it will be enough to tempt them into letting an important player leave. While Barcelona and Manchester City continue talks, no breakthrough has been reported. Chelsea, Real Madrid and Man Utd reportedly may still have an interest, but currently the focus is on getting this deal across the line. Barcelona look balanced this season - 2.73 goals scored and 1.0 goals conceded per game. Bernardo Silva would be expected to bring control and consistency to help push them to another level. Alongside this, Manchester City are said to be exploring Malo Gusto, Marc Cucurella and Eli Kroupi Jr with Barcelona likewise connected to Piero Hincapie, Jaydee Canvot and Jakub Kiwior.
