Last season, Silva was a regular in the City team, making 50 appearances in all competitions in which he managed 13 goals and seven assists.
Despite financial constraints, Barcelona have still been very active in the transfer window, having signed Bayern Munich’s Robert Lewandowski, AC Milan’s Frank Kessie, Chelsea’s Andreas Christensen, Sevilla’s Jules Kounde and Leeds’ Raphinia.
Media in Catalonia still insist that Barcelona still have a chance of signing the 70-capped Portuguese star.
