Reports that Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva could join Real Madrid in the summer transfer window have been denied. According to the Spanish publication As, the player's agent Jorge Mendes offered his client to the Madrid club. This was reported by Goal.com reports.
The 31-year-old Portuguese player is expected to leave the English club at the end of the current season. Silva wants to continue his career at a top-level team, but Real Madrid's management did not approve his candidacy.
Although Silva could become a free agent at the end of June and join for free, the Madrid club said his profile does not fit the team's future plans. For that reason, Mendes's offer was immediately rejected.
Real Madrid are currently looking for a holding midfielder and have chosen Silva's teammate Rodri as their main target in this regard. There is also interest in the Portuguese player from Juventus and his former club Benfica.
Bernardo Silva joined Man City from Monaco in 2017 for 50 million euros. With the team, he has won the Premier League six times and the Champions League once.
In the current season, he has appeared in 47 matches in all competitions, scoring 3 goals and providing 5 assists.
