On June 23, Beijing time, Luis Rojo, a well-known Barcelona reporter from the Spanish newspaper Marca, broke the news that La Liga giants Barcelona will officially give up their bid to buy Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva this summer. The reason is also simple: there is no money.

The transfer scandal between seat B and Barcelona has lasted for more than two years, especially after Xavi became the coach of Barcelona, and he has repeatedly talked about the ambition of signing seat B in public. However, before the B seat joined, Xavi had already announced his resignation. It is worth mentioning that the new coach Flick also admires the Portuguese very much, but because Barcelona's financial difficulties have not been resolved, the bid for a B seat is already out of reach.

Last season, he played 49 games in all competitions for Manchester City, recording a double-double of 12 goals and 10 assists. With Kevin De Bruyne out injured for a long time, the B's consistent performance has ensured the competitiveness of Manchester City's midfield, and has been one of the biggest contributors to the team's record-breaking fourth consecutive Premier League title. Of course, even so, the idea of seat B leaving the team has never been dispelled.

Last summer, the B seat was close to joining Barcelona, and Manchester City respected the idea of the meritorious veteran and said that as long as there was a satisfactory transfer fee, they would happily let it go. As a result, Barcelona chose to give up shyly, and seat B also renewed his contract with Manchester City for two years and received the team's top salary. However, seat B has also added a €60 million liquidated damages clause to the new contract. Although unconfirmed, it is likely that this clause will only be valid for Barcelona.

However, seat B's infatuation was not reciprocated by Barcelona. In the absence of a solution to the financial problems, 60 million euros is undoubtedly an astronomical amount for Barcelona. In addition, there is a deadline for this liquidated damages clause, which is June 30. If Barcelona are unable to activate the penalty before then, it will undoubtedly be more difficult for them to get a B seat. After all, the Portuguese are worth up to 70 million euros in the German transfer market.

In a week's time, Barça's miracle strikes, they are destined to rub shoulders with seat B. However, even if they give up the B seat, Barcelona still has a reason to deal with Manchester City, that is, Cancelo, who is also a Portugal international. Last season, he joined Barcelona on loan, and although the defensive problems are not small, the tactical role should not be underestimated. Manchester City want to recoup a transfer fee of 20 million to 25 million euros on him, but Barcelona only want another year on loan, because the money is also too much for them. In this case, if Manchester City does not make concessions, Barcelona can only endure the pain again.
