Real Madrid and Barcelona are going head-to-head for Monaco star Bernardo Silva.

Don Balon says Real have an advantage, but Barca will refuse to accept defeat.

Real president Florentino Perez enjoys a close relationship with Silva's agent Jorge Mendes and can also count on Cristiano Ronaldo to work on his Portugal teammate.

However, Barca aren't giving up, especially after re-establishing contact with Mendes over the past year.

ASM are confident of raising at least €70 million from the midfielder's sale.
