Juventus have made fresh contact with Jorge Mendes for the signing of Bernardo Silva, with the midfielder set to decide his future soon.
According to Calcio Mercato, Bernardo Silva has a growing list of suitors, with Juventus eager to position themselves as front-runners. The Italian giants have had an interest in the Portuguese midfielder for some time now, and fresh contacts have been made with his agent Jorge Mendes over a Bosman move in the summer.
Nine years at a club and still very important to how Manchester City play. This is the story of Bernardo Silva, who continues to play a key role for the club he joined from Monaco in 2017, winning many titles, including the Premier League and Champions League.
With his contract set to expire in the summer, Silva has reportedly expressed his desire to leave Manchester City and take on a new challenge. There are many suitors already expressing their interest in signing the Portuguese midfielder, including PSG, Benfica, and Juventus.
Barcelona were also keen and were offered the player, although doubts have been creeping in recently despite Silva seemingly preferring a switch to the Catalan giants if an opportunity arose. Juventus are also keen and could make their play for the Bosman signing of the versatile, long-serving Manchester City star, as things on that front could progress soon.
Juventus have established fresh contacts with super-agent Jorge Mendes over the potential availability of Silva in the summer. There is no decision on the horizon just yet, although it may take another month for Silva and his representatives to decide on his future, with Juventus likely to be one of the considered options.
Where next for Bernardo Silva?
Given the quality of the versatile, long-serving Manchester City star, several big clubs are chasing his signature, while Pep Guardiola would have kept him, too. Silva is yet to decide on his future, but all signs currently point towards an exit from the Etihad.
Juventus could be a good shout, particularly if they can qualify for the Champions League next season. Benfica are also among the clubs chasing, as are PSG, who views the experienced midfielder as a perfect fit for their system. Barcelona might be the frontrunners if they seriously pursue a move, although their financial situation could be preventing this Bosman signing from materialising.
