Club agree personal terms with Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva – report

AC Milan have agreed personal terms with Bernardo Silva, a report claims, and they are confident of reaching a deal.

Silva has been a superb player for City since joining from Monaco in 2017 but his future is in doubt now after City signed Jack Grealish for £100million. They are now stacked with attacking options and Bernardo’s game time is expected to be limited this season if he stays at the club.

The Portuguese is prepared to leave the Etihad and have been been linked with a move to Barcelona and Atletico Madrid this summer. City boss Pep Guardiola even admitted in a recent press-conference that Silva wants to leave the club before the transfer window shuts on August 31.

The Daily Star reported last week that AC Milan were plotting a £45 million move for Silva, with the Serie A outfit eyeing a two-year loan deal worth £15 million before exercising the option of completing a permanent transfer for £30 million.

Mondays’s edition of Corriere Dello Sport (via MilanNews) claimed the rumours that emerged from England are not completely off. However, the costs of the operation make it ‘very complicated’ for Milan this summer, as the newspaper describes it.

According to the latest from Ekrem Konur via Corriere Dello Sport, Bernardo Silva has an agreement with Milan on personal terms and conversations are continuing on the financial terms of the deal between the Diavolo and City. There is belief that both sides will reach an agreement.

The reports added that Bernardo really wants to come to Milan and City have spent a lot of money so they want to sell players to raise some funds, with talks continuing positively.

The €70m-rated versatile attacker still has four years left to run on his contract with Man City, who were back in Premier League action at home to Norwich City on Saturday afternoon.
