It appears that FC Barcelona are beginning to finally make official and formal advancements in their quest to acquire their most sought-after targets during this ongoing summer transfer window to reinforce their side.

Chief among their targets is 28-year-old Manchester City midfielder and Portuguese National team star Bernardo Silva, who continues to be the most prized sight in the eyes of Barcelona head coach Xavi Hernandez, believing the midfielder to be a differential player.

As such, adhering to the formalities of such an operation, Barcelona had formulated and presented their first official offer for the Portuguese star and have begun to make advancements to achieve his arrival.

Moreover, according to Spanish journalist Roger Torello through Mundo Deportivo, Bernardo Silva himself has now approached Manchester City manager and former Barcelona head coach Pep Guardiola with a request to let him depart for FC Barcelona now that an official offer has arrived.

As per the journalist, the player has been involved within the plans for his operation with both Barcelona and his agent, Jorge Mendes. The realization was there that once an official offer would be sent, he would also need to convince his manager to let him leave for the Catalan giants.

Although the player will refrain from making any public statements or gestures, he will continue to put pressure on his coach to let him achieve his childhood dream of playing for Barcelona.

Moreover, the 28-year-old believes he has the word of the Manchester City manager that he gave last season to let the player leave for his club of choosing if an adequate offer arrived.

Having completed the continental treble last season with Manchester City and having finally won the UEFA Champions League, the Portuguese international believes his time in England is over and that he would now like to continue his football in Spain, wearing the colors of FC Barcelona.
