Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola admits Barcelona want to sign Bernardo Silva.

Guardiola was speaking after last night's ALS charity game for Juan Carlos Unzue against Barcelona.

He said, “I am no one to tell Xavi to forget Bernardo Silva but he is our player and we want him to stay with us because he is very important.

"I don't want him to leave because he is a huge player. He is one of the best I've had, as a man and as a player. But if an offer comes in ... There are seven days left for the market and eventually we should replace him, but it's not easy.

"That said, Bernardo really likes Barcelona."
