Vikes McCarthy on camp Didn t feel like 1st day

The summer transfer window won't reopen in Europe for a while yet, but there are plenty of moves in the works and gossip swirling around. Transfer Talk brings you all the latest buzz on rumours, comings, goings and, of course, done deals!

Paris Saint-Germain are set to rival Barcelona for Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva this summer, reports Mundo Deportivo.

Silva was heavily linked with a move away from the Etihad last season, with Barcelona earmarked as a likely destination for the Portugal international. However, Silva reportedly grew tired of waiting for the Catalan club to strike a deal and ended up extending his stay with City until 2026.

However, the 29-year-old is again being linked to the Spanish giants ahead of the summer, with Barcelona still keen to add the former AS Monaco player to their midfield. The report indicates that Silva himself is very eager to play for Barcelona, however, the club's unstable financial position could make it difficult for a deal to get done.

Silva has a release clause of €60 million, which was inserted into the contract that was agreed last year, but this could prove to be a stumbling block for Barcelona, who need to balance the books to ensure Financial Fair Play compliance. As a result, this leaves the door ajar for PSG to strike. With the French outfit set to part ways with Kylian Mbappé, who is set to join Real Madrid, it has been widely reported that PSG will be active in the summer transfer window. Les Parisiens do not have the financial woes of Barcelona, which could see Silva make the switch to Ligue 1 this summer.
