According to Daily Sport, although FC Barcelona (Barcelona) is still interested in acquiring Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva, the Portuguese star is not the new head of
Frick
The preferred choice.
Xavi was a strong advocate of the acquisition of Bernardo Silva when he was coaching Barcelona, and Bernardo Silva is eager to change the environment and come to live in Barcelona. It is reported that Bernardo Silva also specially added a "Barcelona clause" when he renewed his contract with Manchester City, so that he can smoothly transfer to the Catalan giants in the future.
However, the situation changed after Xavi's dismissal. It is understood that in a meeting between the Barcelona hierarchy and Frick not too long ago, the club clearly informed Frick that they were interested in continuing their pursuit of Bernardo Silva. Frick's response was that he would love to have such a star, but he felt that there were other positions in the team that needed more reinforcement and therefore Bernardo Silva was not his first choice.
Frick has conducted a thorough assessment of the team since taking over and he believes that Barcelona currently have more pressing needs in other key positions. For example, reinforcements in the backline and forward line could be a top priority for Frick. While Bernardo Silva's skill and creativity would be invaluable to any team, he prefers to prioritize these pressing lineup issues in Frick's plans.

Frick's position
