Galatasaray ‘to pursue’ Bernardo Silva and Bruno Fernandes in double swoop | OneFootball

Galatasaray are lining up a double move for Bernardo Silva and Bruno Fernandes this summer. Fanatik reports the Istanbul club plan to use an imminent Süper Lig crown and guaranteed Champions League football to tempt the pair.

Silva’s situation is said to be the most advanced. After eight decorated years at Manchester City, the 31-year-old is widely tipped to depart. Juventus and Barcelona are credited with interest, yet Galatasaray are believed to be at the front of the queue.

President Dursun Özbek is reported to have approved a two-year deal worth €15 million per season to convince Silva to swap Manchester for Istanbul.

The pitch is a super-team project, with Victor Osimhen already tied down on a permanent deal, and an ambition to mirror City’s European success in Türkiye.

The club have also reopened dialogue over Manchester United captain Fernandes. Despite improved form under interim manager Michael Carrick, United’s hierarchy are said to be weighing a summer reset.

Fernandes is a long-standing target for Özbek, who views the Portugal international as an ideal partner for Osimhen. Any move would likely require a fee above £60 million, and Galatasaray are described as confident of opening talks if the player seeks a fresh challenge after a turbulent 14 months.
