      And, finances allowing, they will step up their efforts to sign him at the end of the season, according to Sport.
      A transfer last summer wasn’t possible as Frenkie de Jong ended up staying at Barcelona amid strong interest from Manchester United.
      City then reportedly rejected a £62million bid in January as they did not want to lose Silva, 28, mid-season.
      But Sport say a £57.5m offer at the end of the campaign would be enough to secure his signature.

      City are reported to have told Silva’s agent Jorge Mendes that a £57.5m offer would be accepted.
      Silva, who came off the bench to score in City’s 2-0 win over Newcastle on Saturday, is claimed to be open to a move.
      He will have two years left on his Etihad deal at the end of the season.
      And the Portuguese playmaker is eyeing a new challenge after six years in Manchester.

      He told Record earlier this year: “I’m very focused on this season and it doesn’t make sense to talk about leaving because we’re in the middle of the season.”
      He added: “I won’t hide that my goal in the coming years, if something good happens elsewhere, will probably be to move to a new project.”
      However, funding a move for Silva could be difficult.
      Barcelona have effectively been hit with a transfer ban this summer because of their financial woes.
      Speaking at the FT Business of Football summit in London, LaLiga chief executive Javier Tebas confirmed: “As of today, Barcelona doesn’t have any room in its budget to spend in the upcoming transfer window.
      “Barcelona has been involved in questionable behaviour which has had an impact on LaLiga – and we are acting accordingly.” More

      This being said, Fabrizio Romano has reported the 23-year-old would “love” to stay at Arsenal.
      Nelson has appeared just three times in the league for Mikel Arteta’s side this season, with each of these coming off the bench.

      He registered a goal and assist after replacing Emile Smith Rowe against Bournemouth to add to the two goals and assist he got against Nottingham Forest.
      Much of his season has been hampered through thigh issues, limiting him to eight appearances in all competitions.
      But following his winner against Bournemouth, Arteta said: “I always saw the potential, the talent and the desire for him [Nelson] to do it, but he’s at a different level right now.

      “I think emotionally, the experiences that he had helped him. Football-wise, it was my decision in the last two games not to play him because we had other options.
      “But he was knocking on the door, he’s been training really good and it’s a good lesson for me and for the coaches that we need him and that he can be really important for the team.”
      According to 90min, a host of clubs are interested in the winger’s services come the end of the season.
      These include Brentford, West Ham and Crystal Palace in the capital, while Everton, Southampton and Championship leaders Burnley are also eyeing a move. More

      Both Premier League giants have doubts over the future of their back-up keepers.
      United are in contract talks with David de Gea but Tom Heaton’s deal expires this summer and Jack Butland is only on loan until June.
      Dean Henderson will return from his temporary spell at Nottingham Forest but is thought to see his future away from United.
      Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp faces a similar situation to United chief Erik ten Hag.

      There is speculation about No2 Caoimhin Kelleher leaving Anfield, while third-choice Adrian looks likely to go when his deal expires this summer.
      Petrovic, 23, has earned rave reviews since going to America last April.

      He also recorded an impressive 82.7 per cent save percentage and saved a third of the penalties he faced. More

      He has less than 18 months remaining on his current deal, so Blues chiefs are willing to cash-in on him if an appropriate offer is made.
      Various clubs have expressed an interest in signing him in recent months, including Crystal Palace and Lazio.
      But AC Milan have already opened talks with Chelsea over a potential switch, according to CalcioMercato.
      The Italian outlet reports that Milan boss Stefano Pioli wants to sign Loftus-Cheek as a replacement for out-of-favour midfielder Aster Vranckx.

      First he will be watched by Toffees chief Sean Dyche.
      Everton currently have a lack of attacking options with Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Ellis Simms and Neal Maupay the only natural No.9’s in the first team.
      SunSport recently revealed that the Toffees could decide to cash-in on Calvert-Lewin when the summer transfer window opens due to his recurring injury issues.
      The 25-year-old has made just 11 appearances so far this season.

      A knee injury kept him out of action at the start of the campaign while a hamstring injury has limited his minutes over the past month.
      Calvert-Lewin is understood to be at the top of Newcastle’s transfer wishlist, so should he leave Goodison Park in the summer it will open up a clear path for Cannon to transition into the first team.
      Cannon joined the Everton academy in 2012 and signed his first professional contract nine years later.
      In August he signed a two-year contract extension meaning his current deal expires in June 2025.

      talkSPORT journalist Alex Crook said: “It certainly seems that Wilf Zaha’s stellar career at Crystal Palace could be coming to an end.
      “His contract is up at the end of the season – no imminent sign that he is willing to extend.
      “And if he is to go and achieve his ambitions of playing for a top club, it’s now or never really isn’t it?
      “When you look at his age, the fact that he’s available as a free agent, he either commits his future to Crystal Palace and then probably sees out his top-flight career there.

      Crook added: “I think there are big clubs in Europe who would be interested in a player of Wilf Zaha’s quality.”
