Man City have found a replacement for Bernardo Silva, who is interested in PSG and Barcelona

Two top clubs are targeting the signing of Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva, but it seems that the Citizens are ready to say goodbye to one of their leaders, as they have already found a replacement for him.

Thus, Pep Guardiola and company are ready to revisit the candidature of West Ham midfielder Lucas Paqueta, and according to Fichajes, it is he who will take the Portuguese's place in City's line-up if he moves to Barcelona or PSG. Those two clubs are noted to be interested in Silva.

The Hammers' player was keen on a move to the Etihad back last summer and if the clubs agree, he will be one of the brightest players for the Citizens in the coming season.

Paqueta has played 33 games for West Ham this season, with seven goals and six assists. Thanks to his form, the 26-year-old Brazilian has increased his transfer value, which now stands at €65 million.
