Reports are that Silva likes it at City but no longer wants to live in the north west of the UK. He wanted to move a season ago, but stayed as possible suitors either were not forthcoming or did not have the cash.
It is stated that Barca have offered to pick from Sergi Roberto, Ousmane Dembele, Jordi Alba, Coutinho, Clement Lenglet, Trincao, Sergio Busquets, and Pique, in a cash plus player swap.
City fans would not be happy with that deal, but if it was enough cash to contribute to secure Grealish that would change.
City value Silva in excess of 50m.
The latest information is that the ideal scenario for Txiki Begiristain and co is securing a 'large cash offer' from Barcelona or Atletico Madrid, and using those funds in their pursuit of Jack Grealish and a new centre-forward.
City xtra.
