Christophe Galtier, the current manager, is anticipated to be fired soon, and a deal to bring in Enrique, who caught the attention of both Chelsea and Tottenham earlier this summer, is almost complete.
PSG's long-standing interest in Silva was brought up during Enrique's discussions with the team, and sources have revealed to 90min that the Spaniard has given the go-ahead for a bid to be made for the City midfielder.
Silva has informed City that he intends to leave the club this summer and has received a lot of interest. Silva is said to have a tight relationship with PSG advisor Luis Campos from their shared time in Monaco.
Barcelona has long been interested in Silva but is unlikely to have the funds to match City's £75 million asking price. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia has given Silva, 28, an offer of £80 million a year.
PSG is prepared to make an offer for Silva because they believe he would make a great Lionel Messi replacement. The City midfielder's entourage has already spoken with Campos, but it was made clear that Silva would not consent to a transfer to Paris unless a replacement for Galtier was found.
