The Portuguese playmaker's future has been shrouded in uncertainty since Pep Guardiola openly admitted that he was keen for an exit from the Etihad Stadium last summer.
However, Silva ultimately stayed put in Manchester to win his fourth Premier League title in sky blue, but speculation surrounding a move away has begun to resurface again.
Barcelona continue to be strongly linked with a move for the 28-year-old, who still has three years left to run on his contract with City.
However, The Cityzens are doing their best to price the Catalan giants out of a deal amid the Blaugrana's long-standing financial problems, which have not prevented them from signing Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski, Andreas Christensen, Jules Kounde and Franck Kessie.
