PSG are closing in on the appointment of Luis Enrique as new manager and the Spaniard will reportedly make a bid to sign Manchester City's Bernardo Silva.

Silva, who is understood to have a close relationship with PSG advisor Luis Campos from the pair's time together in Monaco, has once again informed City of his desire to leave the club this summer.

A lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia is on the table but the 28-year-old is believed to have no interest in leaving European football at the moment.

Pep Guardiola has been clear that the club will not stand in the way of an exit for players who want to leave but the club would like to receive adequate compenasation for an absolutely key player who still has two years to run on his contract.
