PSG working on a £60 million deal to sign Manchester City midfielder

With the La Liga heavyweights aiming to ease their wage bill with de Jong’s rumoured exit, whilst potentially recouping a major fee, it is believed that the club may be able to finance Silva’s arrival this summer.

However, a new update suggests that another club have now joined Barcelona in the race to sign the in-demand midfielder.

Further details suggest that the Parisian side will put forth a €70 million offer to secure Silva’s signature.

It has also been stated that offering improved personal terms to the player is not seen as an obstacle as well.

An interesting detail that has emerged is that diplomatic ties between Abu Dhabi and Qatar were cut off in 2017, the two nations from which City and PSG’s owners hail from respectively.

As a result, it is believed that ‘high-level approval’ will be required to sanction a potential move.

Additionally, neither the midfield maestro - nor his representatives - are understood to have informed the club about the player’s reported desire to depart the Etihad Stadium.

Ultimately, the Premier League champions also believe that it is too late in the summer window to recruit a suitable replacement for Silva.

While it has been mentioned that a staggering €100 million fee could tempt the Sky Blues into selling Silva, new updates have discussed how the player has softened his stance about potentially leaving the club.

Interestingly, reports about the silky technician penning a potential fresh contract extension have also surfaced.

Despite PSG’s reported interest in signing Silva, it seems unlikely that the player will play his football anywhere else apart from City this season.
