Whether it is 50 million pounds or euros, this clause is in any case more than affordable for a club like PSG, but also for Saudi Arabia, which tried its luck this summer (especially Al-Hilal). Barca, who have been cash-strapped this summer, could be a serious candidate for the signing of Bernardo Silva in a year’s time if they manage to improve their financial situation by then.
