Man City hero ‘pushing’ for exit amid Kylian Mbappe 'request' and more transfer rumours

Bernardo Silva is reportedly seeking a Manchester City departure with Paris Saint-Germain a possible destination.

Talks between the player and Barcelona almost led to an Etihad exit last summer before both parties agreed to call off a move. Le 10 Sport claims that the Portugal international is keen to force through a departure this time around, but not to Barcelona.

Instead, French champions PSG are eager to bring Silva to the Parc des Princes. Football advisor Luis Campos has apparently earmarked the midfielder - whose City contract runs until 2025 - as a potential target.

Not only that, the report claims Kylian Mbappe wants to play with Silva at PSG. The pair enjoyed a fruitful spell together at Monaco, when Campos was sporting director, before joining their respective current employers.

Both parties are now said to be leaning towards a reunion with Silva, who has scored two goals and assisted five more in 20 Premier League appearances this season. Meanwhile, it is claimed that City will target two midfielders, a winger and a full-back this summer.

The Telegraph says Jude Bellingham is one their targets while The Times says Ben Chillwell has been shortlisted as a potential Joao Cancelo replacement if the defender permanently signs for Bayern Munich in the summer following his loan spell.
