Hansi Flick approves Bernardo Silva signing, Barcelona must make player sale

Hansi Flick has given his approval for Barcelona to sign Bernardo Silva as a free agent, whose contract with Manchester City ends on June 30. Silva reportedly favors a move to Barcelona over other options, including Atletico Madrid. However, Barcelona must first sell a player to make room for Silva's registration and salary demands. Candidates for departure include Marc Casado and Roony Bardghji, with Casado’s agent also representing Silva. The club will need to act promptly to finalize the signing of the versatile midfielder.
