Bernardo Silva targeted by Juventus for free transfer from Manchester City

The Portugal international is only under contract at the Etihad until June 2026, so in a couple of months could negotiate a free transfer for next summer.

Bernardo Silva only celebrated his 31st birthday in August, so he still has plenty of career left in him to make an impact in Serie A.

He has 103 senior caps for Portugal and has been at Manchester City since 2017, when he made the €50m transfer from AS Monaco.

Juventus will hope that he is still hungry enough at the end of the season to seek a challenge in Serie A rather than go to MLS or the Saudi Pro League at age 32.
