Juventus are reportedly in talks with Bernardo Silva and his camp over a move if he were to leave Manchester City in the summer.
According to Calcio Mercato, Juventus are showing some serious intent with regards to signing Bernardo Silva on a Bosman deal in the summer. The Bianconeri have reportedly opened talks with his camp over a transfer, should the Portuguese international leave Manchester City.
Bernardo Silva could be one of the most exciting free agents in the market in the summer should he leave Manchester City. The Portuguese midfielder has been one of the key signings under Pep Guardiola, contributing to Manchester City’s success in a dominant era of English football.
The midfielder has been one of Guardiola’s trusted lieutenants during his time here, having signed from Monaco in the summer of 2017. The 1994-born Manchester City playmaker has gone on to make over 440 appearances in all competitions for the club, and is widely regarded as one of their best signings ever.
However, his contract expires in the summer, with the player indicating for the last few years that he is ready to take up a new challenge. There are a host of teams looking at the prospect of signing the 1994-born Manchester City playmaker, including Barcelona, who are widely considered the favourites to land him.
Al-Nassr are also among those keen, with plenty of other Saudi Arabian sides also angling for a Bosman move for Silva. Juventus are also interested, with the Turin giants now pushing to get a deal done with the playmaker should he decide to leave Manchester City in the summer.
Juventus to sign Bernardo Silva?
There’s a clear message from Juventus that they are extremely serious about signing Silva at the club in the summer if he were to leave Manchester City. Talks have taken place with his camp as per the report, which may suggest the club are advancing and could be willing to make a sizeable offer, with rumours of a two-year contract rife.
Manchester City are also reportedly offering a two-year deal to keep Silva at the club in a transition period with the squad. However, the idea of taking up a new challenge might tempt Silva away from the Etihad, with Juventus currently trying to position themselves as the front runners in the chase.
