Manchester City will not stand in Bernardo Silva's way if he insists that he wants to leave this summer, but they will demand their full valuation of him is met, 90min understands.

Silva was keen to leave City last summer for Barcelona, but the club stood firm and told the Portugal international he would not be allowed to leave this season.

Barcelona also came calling in January, but again City insisted that he would remain part of their squad until this summer at least. Now, the Catalans are ready to return ahead of next season to try and get Silva once more – if he pushes for the move as expected.
