Juventus Explore Adding Manchester City Ace on a Bosman Move | OneFootball

Juventus have started to kick the tires on Bernardo Silva, who has entered the final year of his contract and could decide to leave Manchester City at the end of the season. At this stage, he’s not actively discussing a renewal with his current team, TuttoSport informs.

The Bianconeri need to act early and swiftly. The suitors would flock if he indeed elected to depart on a Bosman move. He reportedly makes €10M net, which would be too high for Serie A standards. However, his future requests could be more moderate.

Juventus would try to replicate the Luka Modric and Kevin De Bruyne signings with Bernardo Silva. The two stars have made a strong impact at Milan and Napoli despite their age. The Portuguese playmaker is a few years younger.

He transferred to England for €50M from Monaco in 2017 and has accumulated 411 appearances, tallying 72 goals and 74 assists and contributing to countless trophies. He had begun his career at Benfica, which are expected to attempt to bring him back to close the circle.

Our Take on Juventus and Bernardo Silva

It’s a copy-cat league, and he’s an easy bet to succeed in the Peninsula with his class. On the other hand, his salary would be a problem. He’s not on the very last leg of his career like the other two veterans. His demands might not be much smaller than his current wages, and he’d have plenty of alternatives. The new Bianconeri brass has steered away from older players with rich wages during the summer, which might have been a mandate from the ownership. They’d have to change their MO for it to even become a possibility.
