Reported details of Bernardo Silva's contract show that Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain can make a move for him next summer.
The details of the release clause included in Bernardo Silva’s new Manchester City contract have been revealed, and they suggest that an exit before 2026, when the contract is set to expire, is highly likely.
Bernardo signs for City despite interest from suitors
The 29-year-old has been repeatedly linked with a move away from Manchester City in the last few seasons, with the Portugal international said to be seeking a challenge elsewhere.

It's brutal — Haaland discusses his relationship with Guardiola
Manchester City ace Erling Haaland talks about winning the treble, his goal records, and his relationship with Pep Guardiola.
He was heavily linked with teams in LALIGA, as one reason given for Bernardo’s willingness to move is proximity to his family; a Spanish team offers that given the shared border with Portugal.
The financial situation of Barcelona and Atletico Madrid and the lack of interest from Real Madrid meant a move to Spain was not on the cards.
Last Summer, the reports of Manchester City's exit intensified. Barcelona were squarely in the picture, as were Paris Saint-Germain. The former Monaco midfielder looked set to leave, but The English champions managed to change his mind, and he penned a contract until 2026.

Bernardo given a way out
Manchester City had their way and managed to keep one of their most important players, but according to a recent report by Fabrizio Romano, they had to make concessions to get the deal done.
Bernardo seemingly retains his desire to move closer to home, and this is apparent in the reported release clause included in the deal.
Per the report, suitors will be able to buy Silva for a £50 million fee. A figure relatively low for a player with Bernardo’s talent and standing in the game.
