Mad dash for Bernardo Silva! Ex-Benfica gets bid from back-to-back champs | OneFootball

Bernardo Silva’s name is once again dominating the transfer market. The Portuguese international, who is set to leave Manchester City at the end of the season, has received a multimillion-euro offer from Galatasaray, winners of the last two Turkish league titles, that is generating plenty of buzz.

According to the Turkish press, the Istanbul club has submitted a three-season offer that could reach €50 million, a clear sign of ambition in an effort to convince the attacking midfielder. The proposal was presented to agent Jorge Mendes, who is handling the player’s future.

Despite the impressive figures, there is one decisive factor: Bernardo Silva wants to remain in top-level European football and has a clearly defined preferred destination - Barcelona. However, a move to Catalonia remains on hold while the Spanish club reshapes its squad for next season.

In addition to Barcelona, Juventus are also closely monitoring the situation, remaining a strong alternative. Galatasaray, meanwhile, are not giving up and are looking to strengthen an ambitious project that already features names such as Victor Osimhen, Leroy Sané and Ilkay Gündogan.

This season, playing for Manchester City, Bernardo Silva - valued at €27 million - has already made 47 appearances: 33 in the Premier League, eight in the Champions League, three in the EFL Cup and another three in the FA Cup. In the 3,393 minutes he has spent on the pitch, the former Benfica player has recorded three goals and five assists.
