Boss, guess what! Bernardo Silva, that midfielder from Manchester City, said "YES" to Barcelona. Well, didn't I tell you it's all about the money?
The man, 31 years old, free agent, initially refused the Catalans' offer because the salary was too low. Man, it's like an auction, not football! But look, he changed his mind.
He eyed something more substantial, because hey, he's got kids to feed, right? Like me with Brian and Ioana - if I don't have enough money, I change my mind fast too. Initially, he was also courted by Atletico Madrid, but Barcelona set their sights on him seriously.
And he's not the only one on their list. The Catalans have already sealed the transfer of Anthony Gordon from Newcastle for 80 million euros. Plus, they're preparing a 90 million offer for Julian Alvarez from Atletico.
Man, madness! Silva came to Manchester City in 2017 from AS Monaco for 50 million and had an impressive record. Recently, he said he didn't know where he'd play next season and wanted to sort things out before the World Cup.
Well, now he's sorted it! What can I say? Barcelona is cleaning house budget-wise, but they're still throwing around thousands of euros.
Me, with my 2008 BMW, I watch them and drink my bitter coffee. That's how big football is: one gives, another takes. Us Romanians, we watch from the sidelines and comment.
Cheers!
