Super agent Jorge Mendes admits Barcelona want to sign Manchester City ace Bernardo Silva.

Mendes made the comments while in Dubai for the Globe Soccer Awards, where he was discussing the future of Barca loanees Joao Felix (Atletico Madrid) and Joao Cancelo (Manchester City).

“Things are not going so well for FC Barcelona, but João Félix has had a positive performance. There's no doubt, he's great.

"Barcelona want to keep him permanently," Mendes was quoted by Record.

Asked about Cancelo, he then said: "Yes, him too. Just like Bernado Silva, who is the best player in the world in his position."
