Barcelona ready to offer Semedo for Man City ace Bernardo Silva

The Blaugrana are interested in signing Bernardo Silva.

Barcelona are considering signing Manchester City ace Bernardo Silva as they continue to scour the market for reinforcements.

As per reports, Barca have identified the Portuguese midfielder as a summer target and are willing to use his compatriot Nelson Semedo as a makeweight in the signing.

Silva looks to have not attained the status of a regular starter at City this season, with young talent Phil Foden getting the spotlight of late.

Regardless, the 26-year-old has shown his ability whenever he got summoned up, racking up a total of 9 goals and 10 in all competitions this season.

The report also adds that Barca see the Nations League winner as an important player and are ready to offer him a place in the starting eleven.

Barca lacked the dynamism in the midfield throughout the season, which culminated in the signing of Miralem Pjanic from Juventus. The Bosnian was signed in a swap deal involving Arthur.

Silva can provide the much-needed creativity for Barca in the midfield, and they also can make the most of his versatility.

Furthermore, Barca are said to be keen on letting both Arturo Vidal and Ivan Rakitic off the hook this summer, with the latter being linked with a move to his former club Sevilla.

Vidal is also on the wishlist of Serie A club Inter Milan although the Chilean has been preferred a lot by Quique Setien.
