The summer transfer window has closed throughout most of Europe, but there are still moves in the works and plenty of gossip swirling around. Transfer Talk brings you all the latest buzz on rumours, comings, goings and, of course, done deals!
TOP STORY: Man City’s Silva negotiated Barcelona release clause in new contract
Manchester City attacking midfielder Bernardo Silva remains keen on joining Barcelona, according to Mundo Deportivo.
The 29-year-old signed new terms with Man City in the summer, but the latest reveals that he included a clause in his contract that is specifically available to be activated by the Blaugrana in Spain.
He is believed to be keen on making the switch to LaLiga champions Barca, with the release clause set at a valuation of €50 million, a figure lower than what Man City were demanding for his signature when the transfer window was open.

Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez is also keen on signing 25-year-old RB Leipzig forward Dani Olmo, who is said to have included a similar clause to the one in Silva’s new deal.
Olmo, linked with Barcelona last season, has maintained his form in the Bundesliga with three goal contributions in the opening three games, and he reportedly could be signed for a fee of €60 million.
While it is not clear whether Barca are looking to sign both stars, it looks as though both have emerged as early potential reinforcements for the future.
