Real Madrid pulled off a major move recently, considering the interest their latest signing attracted on the Spanish transfer market. After leaving Manchester City as a free agent, Bernardo Silva chose the Spanish capital over Barcelona. This decision could push Barcelona to turn to PSG’s Kang-in Lee as an alternative.
On Wednesday, just hours before Portugal’s match against the Democratic Republic of the Congo (1-1), Real Madrid confirmed the signing of Bernardo Silva. The Portuguese international arrives in Madrid as a free agent after nine full seasons at Manchester City, where he won a historic treble in 2023 consisting of the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League.
Bernardo Silva turns down Barcelona and Atletico Madrid to join Real Madrid
Bernardo Silva therefore chose to join Real Madrid, where he will be coached by his compatriot José Mourinho. This came despite advances from Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. Barcelona’s failure to secure the attacking midfielder — who previously played for Benfica, AS Monaco, and Manchester City — could impact Paris Saint-Germain’s transfer window, particularly regarding one player: Kang-in Lee.
Barcelona inquires about Kang-in Lee’s availability
In recent days, Kang-in Lee’s future has been closely tied to Madrid, specifically Atletico Madrid, a club the South Korean international would like to join. However, Barcelona sporting director Deco has contacted the agent of the former Valencia and Mallorca player to better understand his situation. While no concrete moves from Barcelona have been made, Deco’s action suggests a quick change may be coming. Paris Saint-Germain has been put on notice.
