Frenkie de Jong's transfer saga has taken a new twist as Barcelona will reportedly not have to sell him in order to sign Bernardo Silva from Manchester City ...

Last month, Sport reported that he told his team-mates: “It's impossible for me to leave. Barcelona have appeared to be pushing for the ace to go, despite the fact they owe him an estimated £17million after he deferred some of his wages during the COVID-19 pandemic. Frenkie de Jong’s transfer saga has taken a new twist as Barcelona will reportedly not have to sell him in order to sign Bernardo Silva from Manchester City. The Netherlands international has been tipped to leave the Catalan giants this summer and head to the Premier League, with Manchester United and Chelsea keen to land him.

Robert Lewandowski opened his account for Barcelona and Pedri scored twice in a resounding 6-0 win against Pumas UNAM in the Joan Gamper Trophy at Camp Nou ...

Barca made seven changes at the break and two of the substitutes combined in the 49th minute to make it five. Aubameyang then hit the bar and saw another chance deflected over before De Jong found the net late. Lewandowski returned the favour soon after and then, via a brilliant flick, sent Pedri through for his second goal in the 20th minute.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Barcelona are working on a deal to secure the signing of Manchester City midfielder ...

The Catalans have been trying to sell the Dutchman this summer, with Manchester United and Chelsea interested. However, that could be set to change this year, with Romano reporting that the club are working on securing the transfer. Silva has emerged as one of Manchester City’s best players under Pep Guardiola in recent years, playing a key part in the success that they have achieved.

Barcelona have told Manchester City that a bid for Bernardo Silva is incoming, while negotiations to sign Sergio Gomez are still progressing nicely.

Gomez registered 15 assists in the Belgian Pro League last season and a few supporters have noted his impressive attacking qualities. There have been no concrete links with other players, but Benfica's Alex Grimaldo and VfB Stuttgart's Borna Sosa are two names on the club's radar in the past. Despite having been keen to leave City for the past two summers, Bernardo has played a vital role in recent success.

Barcelona have completed a move to allow back up goal keeper Neto to join Premier League new boys Bournemouth.

Parker’s charges kicked off their Premier League return with a 2-0 opening weekend win over Aston Villa with Neto expected to challenge Republic of Ireland international Mark Travers for a starting spot in the coming weeks. As part of the plans, Barcelona agreed to release Neto from his previous contract in Catalonia, to facilitate a move to Scott Parker’s side. New signing Neto has played in Serie A and La Liga and now gets to achieve a lifelong ambition with the Cherries 🗣️

About nine minutes later, Barcelona were four goals to the good, with Pedri doubling his tally on the evening.

Today's match will be about the performances on the field, but there is much work to be done off it if Barcelona are to take full advantage of their summer overhaul. 4th min: GOAL, BARCELONA! It's a fast start for the hosts as Robert Lewandowski gets Barcelona on the board first with a spectacular opener. It figures to be a busy day for the Pumas shot-stopper between the sticks. 55 mins to kick: The Barcelona lineup is in. 24th min: Chance, Barcelona! Every Barcelona attack seems to produce a great opportunity on goal, and this time only fate keeps the ball from finding the back of the net. It was total and complete domination from Barcelona in the first half, dominating possession and carving the Pumas defense to shreds. Even when Barcelona took their foot off the gas and sat back, Pumas had to fight hard just to string a few passes together. 49th min: GOAL, BARCELONA! After a furious start to the first half, the hosts have begun the same in the second with reinforcements on the pitch. It rolled to Memphis on the end line, but the Pumas goalkeeper is there to stop the chance. 46th min: The second half is under way, with a host of changes for the home side. The ugliest goal yet in a litany of defensive nightmares from the visitors at the Camp Nou. Robert Lewandowski scored his first Camp Nou goal as a Barcelona player and assisted both ends of Pedri's first-half brace in the win.

Barcelona are plotting a bid for Manchester City playmaker Bernardo Silva, according to a new report.

With a host of reports suggesting that Bernardo Silva is considering joining Xavi’s side, Manchester City’s policy of letting players open to leave for the right price could be in motion once again. In the case of Bernardo Silva’s future, the worries amongst the Etihad faithful are palpable as it could prove next to impossible to find a suitable replacement for one of Guardiola's most crucial players. Barcelona are trying to ensure that a move for Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva comes to fruition this summer, according to a new report.

Barcelona inform Manchester City that they will make an offer for Bernardo Silva before the transfer window closes.

Although Silva featured in the Community Shield and Sunday's Premier League opener, he is reportedly still open to a move to the Camp Nou this summer. According to the Manchester Evening News, the Catalan giants have stepped up their pursuit by informing Man City that they will submit a bid before the transfer window closes. Barcelona are reportedly prepared to make a bid for Manchester City winger Bernardo Silva.

Barcelona president Joan Laporta again reiterates that the club want Manchester United-linked Frenkie de Jong to stay at Camp Nou.

"I think we can use new energy, new legs and fresh input to bring us to a new level. He has offers, but we want him to stay and he wants to stay too," Laporta told reporters. With him and his teammates, we have a very powerful midfield.

BARCELONA star Frenkie de Jong is a top Manchester United and Chelsea transfer target.

“There’s a lot on that De Jong deal,” said Neville. “Just generally. And with the Catalan titans pushing to land Bernardo Silva from Manchester City, that new development gives both teams hope of striking a deal. Manchester United and Chelsea are both keen to land the Netherlands international. “If he’s said ‘no I’m not coming I want to stay at Barcelona’ or ‘I want to go to London to play in the Champions League’, surely at that point United would have said ‘we’re out of the race for Frenkie de Jong. Barcelona are, however, open to keeping hold of De Jong if the player agrees to take a pay cut. Barcelona star Frenkie de Jong still has no plans to take a pay cut at the club, according to reports.

Should he be well-received, however, as has been the case for the most part of his La Liga tenure, it could further convince him that his current stance is the right one and push him into accepting a hefty salary reduction. If given a frosty reception by the home fans unimpressed by his protests, he could have a change of heart and cave in to Chelsea's proposal. Yet despite Barca seeming to want him gone so that they can free up space on the wage bill and make an approach for David Silva, De Jong is still adamant on staying in Catalonia and being a part of Xavi Hernandez's promising sporting project.

De Jong started on the bench, with Barca boss Xavi instead selecting a midfield of Gavi, Pedri and Sergio Busquets to start the game. That would be another blow to Manchester United, who remain keen to sign the 25-year-old, but have seen a deal stall.

Barcelona president Joan Laporta has extended an olive branch to De Jong to publicly invite him to stay, and says he is confident he will.

This week they have to fix both of them.” He has told Martin Braithwaite and Samuel Umtiti to find new clubs. With him and his teammates we have a very powerful midfield.

Should the situation between De Jong and Barcelona be resolved swiftly, however, perhaps Man City could still have another part to play. The Blues seem to have done most of their summer business in this way, pouncing in the chance to sign the likes of Marc Cucurella from under Manchester City's noses, looking at Raphinha or Dembele depending on who Barça signed (they weren't expecting both) and even enquiring about the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Gabriel Jesus to test the waters. Now, they want to cancel his existing contract and return to the deal he was on previously.
