Man City set to lose key man as £70m deal could ruin Liverpool transfer

Paris St-Germain are reportedly planning a move for Manchester City star Bernardo Silva.

That’s according to French publication Le Parisien, who claim that the 28-year-old could arrive in the summer transfer window to bolster the Ligue 1 champions ranks in the absence of Lionel Messi, who confirmed this week that he will be leaving the club and joining Inter Miami.

The Portugal international still has two years left on his deal at the Etihad, and he hit the headlines back in July 2020 when he failed to clap Jurgen Klopp’s side during a guard of honour for Liverpool - who at the time had just won the Premier League.

A month later and after City were knocked out of the Champions League by Lyon at the quarter-final stage, Liverpool fans bombarded him with tweets. In response, Silva branded the supporters "pathetic" and told them to "read a book".

Meanwhile, City have reportedly held initial talks with RB Leipzig over the signing of defender Josko Gvardiol. That's according to Football Insider, who are reporting that Gvardiol is the club’s top target as they head into the summer transfer window.

The Croatian has shot to prominence in the last year thanks to his performances for RB Leipzig and his integral role in helping Croatia to reach the World Cup semi-finals. Those impressive displays led to speculation linking him with a move to Liverpool.

Chelsea reportedly want to sign Moises Caicedo from Brighton this summer. That's according to The Telegraph, who claim that Brighton want more than £70 million for Caicedo and are keen on striking a deal that would include them signing defender Levi Colwill, who has admirers at Anfield.

Caicedo has also been linked with a move to Liverpool in recent months and if he was to sign for the Anfield club this summer he would be following in the footsteps of Alexis Mac Allister, who joined the Reds from Brighton for an undisclosed fee earlier this week.
