Bernardo Silva has been linked with a summer move away from Manchester City, with several European bigwigs interested in him.
Bernardo Silva has decided to take on a fresh challenge in the summer, as per Sky Sports, and he will leave Manchester City as a free agent in the summer transfer window.
Meanwhile, another report by Sky Sports have revealed that Barcelona and Juventus are keen on signing the Manchester City skipper in a bargain move in the coming months. The fact that the 31-year-old is prepared to leave Manchester City in the summer will come as a huge boost for clubs looking to secure his signature. It remains to be seen where he ends up.
Bernardo Silva is a quality player who has shown his ability in the Premier League consistently since arriving from AS Monaco in a £43 million deal nearly nine years ago. The experienced playmaker has helped Manchester City win several major trophies, and he could prove to be an excellent addition for Barcelona and Juventus as well.
The Portuguese international is versatile enough to operate in any midfield role, and his versatility would be a huge bonus for any club signing him. The 31-year-old playmaker has three goals and five assists in all competitions this season. He will be out of contract in the summer, and signing a player of his quality on a free transfer would be a masterstroke for any club.

Bernardo Silva has already proven himself in France and England. This is the right time for him to take on a new challenge. The opportunity to move to Italy, or Spain could be interesting for him. The player has been linked with a move to La Liga in recent months. The opportunity to play for Barcelona will be hard to turn down for him.
The Catalan giants are among the biggest clubs in the world, and he has the technical attributes to fit into their style as well. On the other hand, moving to Italy could prolong his career. The lesser intensity of Serie A football could be ideal for him at this stage of his career. It remains to be seen what the player decides.
The 31-year-old Portuguese international will probably hope to join a club where he can regularly fight for major trophies. Juventus are still going through a period of transition, and Barcelona could be a more attractive destination for him.
