Manchester City finds itself at the center of attention as they gear up to tackle various significant issues in the upcoming summer transfer window. The uncertainty surrounding Bernardo Silva’s future adds to the intrigue, given his contract stretching until June 2026, coupled with a £50 million release clause. Paris Saint-Germain’s renewed interest in the midfielder only adds fuel to the speculation.
Furthermore, Manchester City is actively weighing the option of Lucas Paqueta potentially stepping in to fill Silva’s shoes should he depart. The potential departure of Kevin De Bruyne is also a matter of concern, especially with the Saudi Pro League expressing interest in signing him next summer.
Although De Bruyne’s loyalty to Manchester City remains unwavering for now, discussions with the Public Investment Fund hint at the possibility of a future move. To address this, Manchester City has initiated negotiations to extend De Bruyne’s contract, which currently expires in June 2025.
In an effort to sweeten the deal involving Bernardo Silva, PSG is contemplating the inclusion of a star player highly regarded by Guardiola, thus enhancing the appeal of the potential transfer.
