Barcelona midfielder Joao Felix has urged the Spanish giants to sign a certain Manchester City star, who has been asking about the club.

City midfielder Bernardo Silva has been linked with a move to the Catalan giants in the last couple seasons but opted to stay with the Citizens.

Manager Pep Guardiola has previously been vocal about how important Silva is to the team, but wouldn't stay in the player's way if he wanted to leave.

Felix has now revealed he would love to see his countryman at Barcelona and revealed Silva's family members have asked about the ciy.

 "If I were (Sporting Director) Deco for a day, I would sign Bernardo Silva without a doubt," Felix said on Gerard Romero's show Jijantes FC.

"Let them bring him (to Barca). Have you seen him play? He's even better as a person. He's from (Joao) Cancelo's generation. 

"Now players last until they are 35-36 years old. His sister-in-law is here, (he's asked me) about how things are here, the weather, tax issues... I told him it's all right for him to come. 

"I don't think Manchester City will make it easy. For $63 million (£50 million) I would bring him, even for €60-70 million ($65-76 million)."
