Earlier on Tuesday, we covered a tweet from Gerard Romero clarifying the situation surrounding Barcelona and their interest in Manchester City.
The gist of the information was that the La Liga side wanted to get a deal done for somewhere between €50-60m and there was some sort of scheduled appointment that would see the player look for a new home in Catalonia.
This came a day after claims from Spain appeared stating the Manchester City player was starting to lose patience with the whole matter, but Barcelona have come forward to reassure him.
That’s what Sport are reporting on Tuesday afternoon, headlining the article with ‘Barca assures Bernardo Silva that they will come’.
In fact, they ‘already have the money ready to face what will be the highest financial operation of the entire summer’.
Joan Laporta is said to have ‘given the order to go all out for the Portuguese’, and the club will focus on this deal ‘after closing all the exits’.
As of now, ‘the only stumbling block is the salary limit’, but the player ‘agrees to lower his salary a lot, mainly in his first season as a Blaugrana, in order to leave the Premier League’.
‘Everyone is clear’ this is the year for this to happen, and he wants to sign ‘no matter what’.
Over at Barcelona, ‘neither Laporta not Xavi are going to leave behind a footballer who is still in permanent contact’ with them.
