Mꦚanchester City could be interested in a swap deal betw♈een Joao Felix and Bernardo Silva, .

The publication is claiming that the Citizens are generally not 𓆉open to swapping players. However, their long-term🥃 interest in the Portugal international means they could be open to the scenario.

City were hoping to sign Felix before he lefꦗt Benfica for Atletico Madrid back in 2019. They’ve been keeping tabs on the 21-year-old over the last 12 months amid a renewal♍ in their interest.

The news about the youngster comes amid the Spanish giants’ interest in Silva. He’s keen on a m♛ove to La Liga with the Citizens open to letting him leave for a suitable offer.

TBR View: Felix/Silva swap deal would suit Manchester City and Atletico

It seems Pep Guardiola ♏is open to a complete ove🥀rhaul of his attack.

As well 🍰as the former Monaco man, a raft of other players have been linked with exits.

Ga🍰briel Jesus is drawing interest from𝔉 Tottenham and Juventus. Meanwhile, Raheem Sterling is yet to agree on a new contract with the club.

And we already know that Sergio Aguero left the club in search of a newꦬ challenge at Barcelona.

But, should💫 the ꦺ27-year-old leave, Felix would be a brilliant replacement for the attacker.

The 21🌟-year-old is brilliant on both feet and a very big threat in the final third.

His tally of 10 goals during last season’s title-winning campaign was the ✃fourth-most. He also won more fouls per game than any of his teammates.

Despite being so y💛oung, he possesses immense quality which would boost City’s attack. And with Guardiola as his coach, he co﷽uld take his game to the next level.

A swap deal between Felix and Silva may well solve a lot of problems for Manc🅺hester City, especially with the upcoming overhaul.
