Catalan sports paper Sport claims that Barcelona will give the transfer of Valencia left winger and Spanish international David Silva (22) another try after the recent changes at the top of his club (read more here)
Barcelona sports director Txiki Begirstain is expected to contact Valencia again in the coming days and make them a bid of 20 million euro°, which would be the maximum fee Barcelona is ready to pay.
Silva's agent would already have closed a deal with Begiristain on a four-year contract for the Spanish winger. The wish of the player, who prefers to stay in Spain and wants to join Barcelona, should put pressure on Valencia whose financial situation could force the club to sell some of their players.
New Valencia president Vicente Soriano said to journalists that he didn't plan to sell Silva: "If everything turns out the way I have planned, that won't be necessary. There will be some transfers, but the essential players will stay."

20M would be nice price, but I don't think Valencia will let him go for that price. They'll ask something about 25-30M, and if Barca won't go above 20M it could be the main obstacle. But the good news is that he wants to join Barca and he could put a pressure for leaving. He could be good signing and it would be enough for this summer. I hope Eto'o will stay, and Laporta made U-turn on Eto'o after last night's game vs Dundee.

I wouldn't go over 20mil for Silva either. If Valencia refuse to sell that is their right, but they will be hard pressed to find a team that will match their asking price. Left wingers being sold for 20+mil in today's market is the exception rather than the rule.
If I was Barcelona I would cast my fishing line with the 20mil "bait" for Silva or Arshavin and see who bites first. As I've said before, as long as Arshavin's "in play" that only helps Barcelona buttress him in their negotiations with Valencia for Silva.

more midgets. Silva is not a good buy, especially for €20m+. he's fairly fast and fairly creative, with good technical skill, but as Kxevin has said there's nothing he does that Hleb or Iniesta couldn't do if put on the left. he essentially doesn't bring anything new to the team but filling a hole in the roster. Arshavin's still the better bet, and if you can get them for the same price why not?
