Currently, the Portuguese midfielder is away at Euros representing his national side.The talented midfielder will be in contention to start against Hungary on Tuesday. Silva will be hoping to play an instrumental role in this Portugal squad which already has the presence of star players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Joao Felix, Bruno Fernandes.

At present, the Portuguese international has a contract at the Etihad which will see him stay with the club till the summer of 2025.

Will Manchester City lose Bernardo Silva?

There has been no official statement by the player on whether he wants to leave the Sky Blues this summer.

Officially, the midfielder has not yet submitted a transfer request to his present employers which means that this proposed deal might not take place at the moment.

However, the situation might change after the conclusion of Euro 2020. If Silva decides to leave the club this summer, then it will be tough to stop the player from leaving the Etihad.

Atletico Madrid have reportedly lined up a swap deal for the Portuguese as they are willing to include  Saul Niguez in this proposed exchange. Barcelona, on the other hand, are looking to pay in cash for the services of the star midfielder and hence will have to shell a transfer fee north of  60 million pounds.
