What options after the failure of Bernardo Silva?

FC Barcelona has a plan in mind after being overtaken by Real Madrid on the recruitment of Bernardo Silva during this transfer window.

FC Barcelona has gone through a terrible week at the start of the transfer window. Barely two days after the announcement of the recruitment of Marc Cucurella by Real Madrid for around 60 million euros, the Blaugranas suffered a new failure with the signing of Bernardo Silva, again, with the great rival.

Enough to push the Catalans and their coach Hansi Flick to find new solutions with a view to strengthening themselves for next season on the right side. Without spending a fortune either, after the 80 million euros invested in Anthony Gordon at the end of May.

According to Mundo Deportivothe priority would first be to examine the options available internally, notably with the emergence of Roony Bardghji. The Swedish winger appears to be a credible understudy to Lamine Yamal, and should get more playing time than during the 2025-2026 financial year.

Barça can bank on yet another nugget

A repositioning of Ferran Torres, a trained central striker, could also be considered. The player has already played in this position, including Monday with Spain against Cape Verde (0-0) – which was not really conclusive.

Finally, management is keeping in mind a potential repatriation of Jan Virgili, 19-year-old crack player from the B team, transferred to Mallorca for 3.5 million euros last summer. Barça owns 40% of his rights, while his release clause fell to 7.2 million euros after the Balearic club’s descent to Liga 2.
