Barcelona could use 'Ferran Torres formula' to sign Bernardo Silva

Joan Laporta and superagent Jorge Mendes have come up with a clear financial plan of bringing Bernardo Silva to Barcelona, as per Mundo Deportivo's Gabriel Sans.

If Frenkie de Jong leaves Barca, Mendes will make sure Manchester City let Silva go for less than €100m.

The Catalans would divide the overall payment into several parts, paying them within 2 or 3 seasons – something they've done with the deal to land Ferran Torres.

Earlier, it was reported that Barca would only sign Bernardo Silva if Frenkie de Jong left the club. Xavi is said to have given the 'green light' for this to happen.
