Real Madrid have made a major splash in the transfer market by securing Bernardo Silva as a free agent. The Portuguese midfielder, who left Manchester City after nine trophy-laden seasons, opted for the Spanish capital over FC Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. Now, Barcelona might turn their attention to Paris Saint-Germain’s Kang-in Lee, potentially reshaping the landscape of La Liga.
On Wednesday, just hours before Portugal faced the Democratic Republic of Congo in a 1-1 draw, Real Madrid officially announced the signing of Bernardo Silva. The Portuguese international joins the club on a free transfer after nine full seasons at Manchester City, where he won a historic treble in 2023 comprising the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League.
Bernardo Silva snubs Barcelona and Atletico for Real Madrid
Bernardo Silva has chosen to play under compatriot Jose Mourinho at Real Madrid, rejecting advances from both FC Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. Barcelona’s failure to land the attacking midfielder, who previously played for Benfica, Monaco, and City, could directly impact Paris Saint-Germain’s transfer plans—specifically concerning Kang-in Lee.
Barcelona inquires about Kang-in Lee
Recent speculation has linked Kang-in Lee with a move to Atletico Madrid, a club the South Korean international is reportedly keen to join. However, sources indicate that Barcelona’s sporting director, Deco, has spoken with the agent of the former Valencia and Mallorca player to assess his situation. While no concrete offers have been made, Deco’s outreach suggests the Catalan club may be preparing a move. Paris Saint-Germain has been put on alert.
