Bernardo Silva’s decade-long chapter at Manchester City could be coming to an end, with multiple clubs in Europe and the US monitoring his situation ahead of the summer transfer window, according to the Daily Mail.
The 31-year-old Portuguese playmaker is nearing the end of his contract and is thought to be open to a new challenge after many successful years in England.
Major League Soccer’s Chicago Fire, Portuguese giants Benfica and Serie A favorites Juventus are reportedly interested, as well as clubs in the Saudi Professional League.
Bernardo Silva has a strong influence at Manchester City
Man City signed Silva from AS Monaco in 2017 and since then he has become one of the most tactically intelligent and versatile players in Pep Guardiola’s system.
Comfortable operating in central midfield, wide areas or in a deeper creative role, Silva’s adaptability has made him vital to City’s domestic and European victories.
His relentless work rate, technical quality and calm under pressure defined his time at the Etihad Stadium.
However, as he enters the final months of his contract, both player and club need to consider the next steps.
Portuguese midfielder has multiple offers
The Chicago Fire are reportedly considering an ambitious addition to boost the club’s global profile, and Silva’s pedigree fits that vision.
Meanwhile, a romantic return to Benfica, where Silva started his professional career, has long been speculated.
Juventus see Silva as an experienced leader who can add creativity to their midfield.
Additionally, there remains the possibility of financial incentives from the Saudi Professional League.
Whether he opts for a sentimental return, a challenge in Europe or a new adventure overseas, his departure will mark the end of a significant era at Man City.
