Real Madrid and Manchester City are reportedly considering a swap deal involving Rodrygo Goes and Bernardo Silva.
According to a report from Defensa Central, Real Madrid and Manchester City could execute a swap deal involving Rodrygo Goes and Bernardo Silva in the summer transfer window.
Bernardo Silva has been linked with a move away from Manchester City for months. He has been linked with clubs like Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona as well. It will be interesting to see if Real Madrid can bring him to the club this summer. The Portuguese international is versatile enough to operate anywhere across the midfield, and he could prove to be a quality player for Real Madrid.
The Spanish champions need more quality and depth in the middle of the park, and the Premier League star would be an ideal acquisition for them. With Toni Kroos calling time on his legendary career, Silva can be a top-notch, if not like-for-like, replacement.
Manchester City to replace Julian Alvarez with Rodrygo?
Manchester City need to add more quality to their attack, and Rodrygo would be a superb acquisition. The Brazilian has had an impressive campaign with Real Madrid, and he helped them win the league title and the UEFA Champions League. So, it is hardly surprising that he features on Manchester City’s radar.
The youngster is capable of leading the line as well as operating in the wide areas. His versatility could make him an asset for Manchester City. Rodrygo could support Ering Haaland in the attack. Julian Alvarez has been linked with a move away from the club, and he will need to be replaced if a deal materialises.
The Brazilian has already proven himself in La Liga, but it remains to be seen whether he is open to a move to England. Meanwhile, Bernardo Silva has certainly proven in his worth in English football, and he has guided Manchester City to multiple major trophies.
The Portuguese international will feel that this is the right time to take up a new challenge, and a move to La Liga will be quite exciting. Real Madrid are widely regarded as the biggest club in the world, and the opportunity to join them can be hard to turn down.
