While Madrid will put 200 million for Mbappe, the player for whom Guardiola will pay 100 million

Kylian Mbappe is very close to leaving PSG. The Parisian team has decided to leave him out of the tour to Japan after the player's indecision in not communicating his intentions about his future in the team and a possible renewal that would still not arrive. Therefore, Real Madrid is looking to close the deal in this very market and would put up to 200 million for the player.

However, while Real Madrid would put 200 million for Mbappe, Manchester City surprises everyone and seeks a figure that will cost 100 million and it is not Josko Gvardiol. Thus, as TuttoMercato points out, Silva's replacement in the Skyblue midfield would be interested in getting Nicolò Barella, star of Inter Milan. With a contract until 2026, the Inter side is not so dependent on sales after the departure of André Onana, which has left more than 50 million in the coffers nerazzurre.

While City have already moved to replace Gündogan, with the signing of Mateo Kovacic, and have identified Barça's Raphinha as a possible replacement for Mahrez, Pep Guardiola's side have another problem on their hands. For the second summer in a row Bernardo Silva has asked to leave the Etihad Stadium. PSG and FC Barcelona are the best placed to acquire the services of the Portuguese.

Will Manchester City pay 100 million for Barella?

If the sale of Bernardo Silva becomes a reality, City would have no choice but to look for a replacement immediately.Given this situation, it is surprising what the team is doing for the upcoming season and whether the board of directors will consider buying Barella and paying the 100 million requested by the Italian team. Of course, everything will depend on whether Silva stays or leaves the club.
