Bernardo Silva has been linked with a summer move away from Manchester City, with Arsenal interested in signing him.
Bernardo Silva has established himself as one of the best players at Manchester City, and he is undoubtedly among the best players in the Premier League as well. He could prove to be a superb acquisition for most clubs around the world, and he could have transformed Arsenal amid the recent links.
The Gunners are keen on him, but a report from Give Me Sport has claimed that Manchester City will not sell him to their title rivals. Silva has been linked with a move to Spain as well in the last few weeks.
Barcelona are one of the clubs keen on securing his services, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up. He is reportedly has a £50 million release clause in his contract with Manchester City.
The 29-year-old has proven himself in the Premier League time and again. He has helped Manchester City win major trophies on a consistent basis, and it seems he could be open to trying out a new challenge at this stage of his career.
Arsenal need someone like Bernardo Silva
Arsenal could certainly use a quality playmaker like Bernardo Silva. The Portuguese international is versatile enough to operate as a central attacking midfielder, a central midfielder as well as in the wide areas. He has the technical attributes to slot into multiple rules and perform at a very high level.
There is no doubt that the Manchester City midfielder is a world-class player, and he would have improved Arsenal immensely. The Gunners are overly dependent on Martin Odegaard for creativity and control in the middle of the park. Silva could have shared that responsibility with the Norwegian international, and he would have added more cutting edge and flair in the final third.
Ideally, Manchester City should look to hold on to their best players if they want to continue fighting for the biggest trophies available. However, they could be powerless if the midfielder demands an exit at the end of the season. He has already won every trophy with them and might feel that the time is right for a new challenge. But a move to Arsenal will unlikely see the light of day.
