Per the Times, PSG will have little trouble beating Barcelona to Silva if he does move. That hiccup is also preventing their move for Chelsea’s Marcos Alonso. However, despite that, they’re still yet to register new signing Jules Kounde.
They recently activated their fourth economic lever to free up funds. In reality, that means Silva will be in line for a wage rise.īarcelona are also hunting Silva’s signature, though their pursuit will be hampered by their financial predicament. One factor behind their confidence stems from the fact they’ll reportedly be offering improved personal terms. However, the French powerhouse are deemed ‘confident’ Silva will push for the move if they find common ground over the fee with City. That’s according to the Times who report a lofty £59.1m bid is being readied to test Man City’s resolve.Ĭity reportedly value the midfielder around the £84m mark, meaning PSG’s bid is likely to be rejected. Silva has remained where he is every time, though PSG are confident of succeeding where others failed.
The Portuguese playmaker, 28, seems to draw links with moves away every summer. (All odds are taken from Bet365).PSG are plotting a huge bid for Bernardo Silva and are confident he’ll join, while Pep Guardiola has pulled the plug on a separate move, per reports. Our Tips: We are backing the home win at odds of 3/5 and/or over 2.5 goals scored at odds of 4/7. We are also backing over 2.5 goals, as both teams possess highly prolific attacks.
It could be a close one, but we are backing City to record a narrow victory. This should be a top spectacle, as two of Europe’s best teams go head-to-head. Experienced Spanish centre-back Sergio Ramos could make his PSG debut. Meanwhile, Gianluigi Donnarumma is a doubt through illness, so Keylor Navas may come in. PSG are with Julian Draxler and Rafinha through injury. PSG have also failed to win any of their previous three away games in the Champions League. However, a record of just two wins in their previous seven matches in European football’s elite competition is a poor one. Pochettino’s team are unbeaten in their four games in Group A, though. As it stands PSG are a point behind City in the standings. The Ligue One leaders know that a win in this clash would not only qualify them for the last-16 of the competition but also put them in pole position to top the group. Mauricio Pochettino’s team has been highly potent in attack of late, as the Parisians have scored at least two goals in their last four competitive outings. The visitors are unbeaten in seven matches in all competitions heading into this potentially decisive encounter, having recorded five wins. Midfielder Jack Grealish is also a fitness doubt. The home team will be without star midfielder Kevin De Bruyne who tested positive for Covid-19, while Ferran Torres is also ruled out through injury. However, they did suffer a 2-0 defeat in Paris in the reverse fixture. The Citizens look good to take a step closer to their goal, as a win in this clash would see Guardiola’s team seal their spot in the last-16 of European football’s elite competition, while also sealing top spot too.Ĭity will be highly confident of recording the victory they need too, as they have won ten of their previous 12 matches in the competition. While City will love to compete on all fronts this season, the Champions League is a competition that the men from Manchester have been desperate to win.
The game saw City score at least two goals for the seventh game of their last nine matches in all competitions. Last time out, the reigning English champions recorded a comfortable 3-0 win over Everton at the Etihad Stadium. Pep Guardiola’s team head into this game high on confidence, as the Citizens have recorded three straight wins in all competitions.
