Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr ‘to compete for’ Bernardo Silva this summer after exit hint | OneFootball

Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal are competing to sign Bernardo Silva for the Roshen League this summer on a free transfer, according to Al-Yaum.

Pep Lenders, assistant to Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, has said the midfielder is in his final months with the English champions after nine years at the Etihad.

"Every beautiful story has an end... I hope he enjoys his final months and gets the send-off he deserves... He deserves it," he said in comments published by the BBC.

"You can never replace a player with another like him, because players of that calibre simply don’t exist."

Silva has played alongside Al-Nassr star Cristiano Ronaldo for Portugal since March 2015. The 31-year-old has also been linked with Barcelona, Juventus and clubs in the American league.
