Manchester City fans are far from happy after it was suggested Joao Cancelo and Bernardo Silva will both be open to swapping the Citizens for Barcelona.
After a mixed season that saw City win the Premier League and League Cup but also lose the Champions League final 1-0 to Chelsea in Porto, there are likely to be plenty of changes at the Etihad Stadium. There have already been two departures to the Camp Nou in Sergio Aguero (fcbarcelona.com) and Eric Garcia, and Aymeric Laporte could also be on the move (Sport).
Now, it seems Barca have two other City players on their radar. As per Mundo Deportivo (via Sport Witness), both Cancelo and Silva would be happy to make the move to Spain, with the report even saying there is a real chance both players could make the switch to La Liga this summer.
The news was shared on Twitter by @City_Xtra, and it attracted plenty of attention from the club’s supporters. They took to the social media platform to share their thoughts.

“If Cancelo is sold to Barca, the board (Txiki and co) and Pep’s time is done at the club. What on Earth are they even thinking of doing.”
