The brass at La Liga champions Barcelona have made a definitive call on the potential signing of Manchester City star Bernardo Silva.
This comes amid confirmation that the Blaugrana do not intend to pursue a deal for the Portuguese.
Midfielder Silva is for his part set to be available as a free agent in the summer, after deciding against renewing his contract terms at The Etihad.
Barcelona, long-term admirers of the 31-year-old’s talents, have in turn been tipped as a possible landing spot for next season.
Not only that, but Silva is for his part understood to be keen on a Camp Nou switch.
If the latest word stemming from the Spanish media early this week is anything to go by, however, then the one-time Monaco man need not get his hopes up.
As per a report from **[Mundo Deportivo](https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20260330/1004162320/bernardo-silva-planes-barcelonistas.html)**:
‘FC Barcelona has no plans to sign Portuguese midfielder Bernardo Silva this summer, despite his contract with Manchester City expiring.’
