Juventus set for talks with Jorge Mendes over Benfica academy star | OneFootball

Juventus are determined to sign Bernardo Silva. With his contract coming to an end, the former Benfica midfielder is looking for a new club and, by all accounts, the Old Lady is set to move forward with the deal. Based on this information, the Italian press reports that the Turin giants will schedule a meeting with Jorge Mendes, the player’s agent.

According to Italian sources, Juventus want to have Bernardo Silva in the squad next season. However, for that to happen, the Bianconeri will have to meet the Portuguese international’s demands, which include playing in the Champions League. At the moment, the club are close to meeting the midfielder’s requirement, as they sit in 3rd place in Serie A with two matches left to play.

If Juventus secure a place in next season’s Champions League, they will then have the financial means to sign the Portuguese international. By all indications, the Turin club, who are set to enter negotiations with Jorge Mendes in the coming weeks, are willing to offer the Portuguese player a net salary of between €8 million and €9 million.

With this in mind, the Turin club are shaping up as the most likely destination for Bernardo Silva to continue his career, after nine seasons at Manchester City, where he won numerous Premier League titles, FA Cups and a Champions League.

With that in mind, Damien Comolli, Juventus general director, will meet with the agent to try to convince the Portuguese player about the project the Italian club have to offer. Luciano Spalletti, the Bianconeri coach, is in favour of the arrival of the 31-year-old midfielder. However, it should be stressed that Galatasaray are also considering signing the footballer.
