The star midfielder for Manchester City, Bernardo Silva, is in an unusual situation. The Saudi Pro League has offered the Portuguese international a tantalizing contract with the potential to pay him an astounding £80 million each year. He may become one of the highest-paid football players in the world thanks to this staggering sum, which would pay him an astounding £220,000 every day for his talent.

According to 90min, comfortably within reach for the wealthy Saudi Pro League.
Despite the tremendous cash offer from the Middle East, insiders claim Silva's preference for European football is unwavering. Silva's preference appears to suggest toward a continuation inside the continent that helped him to recognition, mirroring the paths of Karim Benzema and N'Golo Kante.
The 28-year-old's heart is unquestionably set on Barcelona. According to reports, Silva's representatives have already had preliminary conversations with La Blaugrana. However, given their current financial situation and high asking price, it appears unlikely that Barca will be able to satisfy Man City's demands. The financial juggernaut of European football, Paris Saint-Germain, is in a prime position to hire Silva as a result of these circumstances.
With its luxurious finances, PSG can easily meet City's demand and perhaps grant Silva a big pay raise. However, the player's choice is uncertain until the replacement for Christophe Galtier, the club's head coach, is named. Silva's choice might change if Luis Enrique were to become manager, according to speculations.
PSG's situation is further bolstered by Bernardo Silva's experience with Ligue 1 as a result of his productive three-year stay with Monaco. During this time, Silva played a key role in Man City's £43.5 million acquisition of him after they defeated PSG to win the 2017 French championship. The idea of going back to France can be attractive.
