Bernardo Silva could leave City - Saudi offer is serious

Manchester City's experienced midfielder Bernardo Silva could leave the club this summer. According to French publication Footmercato, Al-Hilal, one of the largest clubs in Saudi Arabia, has made a serious offer to the 30-year-old Portuguese player.

According to sources, the Al-Hilal management has been closely analyzing Silva's performance for the past few months and aims to make the player the center of the team. The Saudis consider his experience and technical skills to be an important factor in improving the team's global image.

At the same time, Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola is pursuing a strategy of rejuvenation of the squad, and as a result of this policy, Bernardo Silva's departure from the team is likely to increase. The club has also formed a list of young players who could replace him.

Silva has been playing for the "city" since 2017. He made 49 appearances in all competitions last season, scoring five goals and providing four assists. His current contract with the club runs until 2026, but transfer talks are ongoing.

If the deal goes through, Bernardo Silva could become the next big name to join the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and N'Golo Kante in the Saudi league.

Football fans and experts are discussing not only the financial aspects of such a transfer, but also the impact it could have on the player's form and future national team career.

Silva's decision remains to be seen. But one thing is certain - the Saudi Arabian football market is about to attract another star name.
