Bernardo Silva was one of the main targets for Barcelona going into the summer transfer season when Xavi Hernandez was still in charge.
Ultimately, the Spanish player had been attempting to get the Portuguese playmaker for a few years.
Silva’s €58 million release clause was thought to be attainable if Barça could approve a few significant sales.
But in terms of the Catalans’ position on Silva, things seem to have shifted now that Xavi is no longer in charge.
Barcelona has decided against pursuing Bernardo Silva in the summer.
The Blaugrana will soon have a new manager in place, thus they will be pursuing other targets during the summer transfer window.
A top pivot remains a primary objective while Flick searches for a new winger and potentially a full-back in the event that Joao Cancelo withdraws.

Barça seem to have enough players in Pedri, Fermin Lopez, Ilkay Gundogan, and Frenkie de Jong (assuming he remains) to cover the advanced midfield spots, and Gavi will also be back from injury.
It seems that the Catalan powerhouses have made the decision to set aside their long-standing interest in Silva and concentrate on other goals for the summer because of this, according to Barca Universal
Joshua Kimmich, the cornerstone of Bayern Munich, was one such target, but the Alvarez report claims that a deal for the German pivot is also off the table.
Therefore, it will be intriguing to observe how Barcelona handles business during their first transfer window under Flick’s direction.
