Bernardu Silva, who has been a key figure for one of the English giants — Manchester City, has decided to part ways with the club after the current season ends. The Portuguese playmaker has already stated his position on this and is preparing to leave.
It is reported that the parties have reached a mutual agreement: City management will not offer the player a new contract extension. This means that Silva's departure is almost certain.
Even now, the 31-year-old midfielder is attracting serious interest from European clubs. In particular, teams like Juventus, Barcelona, Benfica, and Galatasaray want to see him in their ranks. At the same time, some EPL clubs are also closely monitoring the situation.
According to information from La Gazzetta dello Sport, Silva himself prefers the Turin or Catalonia option. That is, there is a high probability he will choose either Juventus or Barcelona.
Barcelona, in particular, has been interested in the Portuguese footballer for a long time. Juventus has recently become a serious competitor in this race. According to sources, representatives of the Turin club are in constant contact with the player's famous agent, Jorje Mendesh.
In short, Bernardu Silva's departure could be a big loss for Manchester City. He was an important link in the team, not only for his technique but also for his ability to control the game. Now, his next destination is becoming one of the most interesting topics of the transfer market.
