The former Bara legend has an option of adding an extra one year to his PSG contract but the player is looking to leave the club on a free transfer. He moved to PSG in 2021 from Barcelona and appeared in two seasons. He failed to win a European trophy for PSG but still played a vital role in carrying the winning legacy in the top flight.
Bernardo Silva is not only the remaining option for PSG. They are also eyeing England captain Harry Kane and Napoli striker Victor Osimhen. Both players have been outstanding. Harry Kane is expected to leave the North London club and he is linked with United for a summer move. He is the second-highest goal-scorer in Premier League this season, only behind Erling Haaalnd.
Victor Osimhen has led Napoli to Serie A triumph after 33 years. The Nigerian has been terrific for the Naples outfit and he is the leading goal-scorer in the Italian top-flight. Signing any of them would be tough for PSG. Harry Kane wants to play in Premier League and he will join any English club. Meanwhile, Osimhen is likely to stay in Italy for one more season. Napoli’s president already confirmed that they will not sell their best player.

Messi’s future at PSG is uncertain and fans are also not happy with him. He was recently suspended for the trip to Saudi Arabia. He accepted his mistake and made an apology to PSG and his teammates the last Friday. He came back in PSG’s 5-0 win over Ajaccio and the former Barca striker was booed when he first touched the ball.
Lionel Messi is linked with Barcelona for a return to Camp Nou and Barca president Laporta also confirmed that Barcelona will do everything to sign him this summer. Earlier, Barnardo Silva also talked about his future at City by saying, “I’m very focused on this season and it doesn’t make sense to talk about leaving because we’re in the middle of the season.”
Silva’s contract will expire in 2025, and Man City could offer him a new contract or they can make advantage by selling him.
