Barcelona coach Xavi isn't giving up on signing Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva.

Xavi is eager to bring Bernardo to the Nou Camp before the summer market shuts.

"You never lose hope, but it won't be easy, honestly," said Xavi.

"Honestly, I see it [the signing] as very complicated."

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola stated on Thursday that Bernardo would not be leaving in the coming days.
