Reports indicate that Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva has been offered to Real Madrid for a potential transfer this summer. Silva, who was signed for around £43m from AS Monaco in 2017, has been a key player for City under Pep Guardiola’s management, making nearly 350 appearances and contributing nine goals and five assists in 38 games this season.
Despite signing a contract extension until 2026, it is believed that Silva has a £50m release clause in his deal, making him a possible target for other clubs. According to reports from Spanish outlet Don Diaro, Silva’s agent, Jorge Mendes, is in talks with Barcelona but is also offering the midfielder to Real Madrid for 58 million euros. However, the report suggests that Madrid’s crowded midfield may hinder the potential transfer.
Barcelona’s interest in Silva is said to be driven by their desire to make a big signing following Real Madrid’s pursuit of Kylian Mbappé. Silva, seen as a more attainable target than Erling Haaland, is said to have demands before considering a move. A report from Nacional suggests that Silva wants clarity on Barcelona’s new coach and a lucrative salary to compensate for his high value.
With speculation surrounding a possible transfer for Silva, it remains to be seen if he will leave Manchester City this summer. While Mendes is exploring options with top clubs in Spain, Silva’s future may depend on various factors, including the willingness of Barcelona or Real Madrid to meet his demands.
