Manchester City is already changing the squad that won the Treble last season. After all, they are considered the best team in the world for a reason. After seeing the departure of Ilkay Gundogan to Barcelona, the Champions League winners have put a price tag on Bernardo Silva. 

According to the reports from Football Insider, Manchester City have put a transfer tag of £45-50m for the Portuguese midfielder. However, there is a strong chance that Silva will remain at the Etihad Stadium beyond this transfer window. 

After initial interest from Paris Saint Germain (PSG), Silva has been linked with a move to Saudia Arabia. It presents him a chance to reunite with Portuguese legend Cristiano Ronaldo. The Saudi Pro League clubs are reportedly offering big money for the signature of the left-footed midfielder. 

Silva currently earns £150,000-a-week at Manchester City and has two years left on his deal. The Portuguese has also been linked with a move to FC Barcelona, but the Catalans are unable to match City’s demands due to their financial situation.
