After being crowned Premier League champions last month, they followed that up by sealing the Double nine days ago by beating Man United in the FA Cup Final.

And a legendary campaign was rounded off in superb fashion as Rodri’s goal earned them a 1-0 triumph over Inter Milan in the Champions League Final on Saturday.

Despite that success, Pep Guardiola’s squad could lose a number of talents this summer with skipper Ilkay Gundogan’s future still in doubt.

Sun Sport reported yesterday how PSG have made fellow midfielder Silva a top transfer target.

The 28-year-old Portuguese international, who featured against Inter, has been a key member of Guardiola’s team this term and even Jack Grealish has publicly begged him to stay.

But he has previously been linked with an exit as Barcelona continue to circle for a swoop - but it seems that PSG has emerged as his most-likely destination.

Now Foot Mercato has claimed that the Ligue 1 champions have already tried to get City to do business.

They state PSG sporting advisor Luis Campos offered City the chance to sign their Italian international goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, 24, and his compatriot Marco Verratti, who is 30.

Donnarumma joined PSG on a free transfer from AC Milan in 2021 and he has made 69 appearances in all competitions.

Verratti has spent 11 years in the French capital and has already achieved legendary status at the club, playing over 400 games for them.

He is reported to have been the most attractive option out of the two for City boss Guardiola - especially with Gundogan’s future in doubt.

However, the report states that City quickly rejected PSG’s proposal and they are still insisting that they want to keep Silva.
