Luis Enrique to target Bernardo Silva once he takes over at Paris Saint-Germain
PSG appear eager to sign Manchester City's Bernardo Silva, once Luis Enrique is in Paris.
<p>
Luis Enrique is will reportedly make a move for Manchester City star Bernardo Silva, once he's in charge at Paris Saint-Germain. </p>
<p>
Current PSG manager Christophe Galtier is expected to be sacked soon, paving the way for Enrique's appointment. The former Spain boss was previously linked with Chelsea and Tottenham. </p>
<p>
Enrique has given the green light to PSG's interest in Silva, a player they have long admired. Silva has expressed his desire to leave Manchester City this summer and has attracted attention from several clubs. </p>
<p>
While Barcelona have been interested in Silva, they are unlikely to meet City's £75million asking price. A lucrative £80million per year offer from Saudi Arabia has also been made. </p>
<p>
PSG see Silva as an ideal replacement for Lionel Messi and are keen to secure his signature. Silva has a good relationship with PSG advisor Luis Campos from their time together at Monaco. </p>
<p>
However, Silva has made it clear that he will only consider a move to PSG once Galtier's replacement is appointed. </p>
<p>
With Enrique set to take charge, PSG will intensify their pursuit of Silva, who has already made over 100 appearances in Ligue 1 and was part of Monaco's title-winning team in 2016/17. </p>
<p>
While the Saudi offer remains an option, Silva has indicated that he prefers to stay in Europe for now. </p>
<p>
Manchester City will not prevent Silva from leaving this summer but expect appropriate compensation for the talented midfielder, who still has two years left on his contract. </p>
