Real Madrid close in on midfielder praised by Flamengo's José Boto | OneFootball

Bernardo Silva is close to signing for Real Madrid (ESP)

Midfielder Bernardo Silva, who left Manchester City (ENG) on a free transfer this June, is close to signing for Vinicius Júnior’s Real Madrid (ESP). The Spanish club is in the final stages of completing the deal for the player, who has already received praise from José Boto, director of Flamengo.

In April, José Boto said that Bernardo Silva, a midfielder wanted by Flamengo fans, was an interesting name. Despite the praise from the Rubro-Negro football director, the negotiation was seen as very difficult. The information was reported at the time by Paparazzo Rubro-Negro.

WHAT IS BERNARDO SILVA’S SITUATION?

Bernardo Silva is out of contract after leaving Manchester City (ENG) on a free transfer. Therefore, the Portuguese midfielder, who worked with Leonardo Jardim at Monaco (FRA), can sign with any other team without the need to pay a transfer fee.

As a result, Barcelona began an attempt to sign him, but without success. Soon after, Real Madrid, at José Mourinho’s request, advanced in negotiations to sign the 31-year-old midfielder, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.

WHO IS BERNARDO SILVA?

Bernardo Silva began his career at Benfica (POR) and was transferred to Monaco (FRA), managed by Leonardo Jardim. Shortly afterward, Manchester City completed the signing of the Portuguese midfielder. As a result, the player won all the main titles with the English club under Pep Guardiola.
