Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is keeping a close eye on Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva, identified as Lionel Messi’s possible replacement should the Argentine decide to leave the club this summer. According to reports, PSG’s sporting adviser, Luís Campos, has his sights set on Silva as the ideal addition to the team.
Speculation surrounding Messi’s potential departure has been rife, with the 35-year-old yet to sign a new contract with PSG. This development has forced the club to consider alternative options, and Silva may just be the right fit for the team.
Silva’s undeniable talent and flexibility on the field have made him a mainstay under City manager Pep Guardiola. He has played an instrumental role in the team’s ongoing quest for a treble, having already claimed the Premier League title, with the FA Cup and UEFA Champions League potential titles in the offing.
Silva’s experience in the French Ligue 1 provides added advantage to PSG, as he can quickly adapt to the style of play in the league. He can also play as a midfielder or winger, adding more depth to their squad.
The likelihood of Lionel Messi leaving PSG still remains uncertain, but it is clear that the club is preparing for all possible scenarios. The addition of Silva would be a significant step for PSG in terms of solidifying their squad and securing future success.
