Man City will not stand in Bernardo Silva's way if he wishes to leave the club.

Paris Saint-Germain has expressed their interest in acquiring the player, and Barcelona has also been a long-standing admirer of the Portugal international. Nonetheless, in order for the transfer to take place, the player and his representatives will need to formally request the move and present an enticing offer for consideration by the treble-winning team.

Silva's potential departure from City was contemplated last summer but ultimately did not come to fruition.

Meanwhile, City are continuing talks over the signing of midfielder Matteo Kovacic from Chelsea.

Barca are thought to be among the clubs willing to offer him a longer deal while Arsenal are also interested in Gundogan.
