Atletico Madrid are pushing hard for the transfer of Bernardo Silva, with the Portuguese midfielder being seen as one of the biggest names of the summer transfer window.
According to Italian media reports, the Manchester City player has rejected the opportunity to join Juventus, prioritizing a potential move to the Spanish capital.
The Madrid club is looking for a player with experience and a great personality, especially in the event of the possible departure of Antoine Griezmann.
In this context, Bernardo Silva is considered the ideal profile for the team led by Diego Simeone, thanks to his intelligence in the game, tactical flexibility and experience gained in the European elite.
The Portuguese has a contract with Manchester City until June 30, 2026, which makes his situation very interesting for big European clubs.
After nine successful seasons in England, Bernardo Silva’s adventure at Manchester City appears to be coming to an end.
Since transferring from AS Monaco in 2017, he has become one of the key figures of the Pep Guardiola era, winning multiple titles in the Premier League, domestic cups and the Champions League.
Bernardo Silva remains a creative midfielder, confident with the ball and very valuable in demanding tactical schemes.
La Liga is seen as an ideal destination for his style of play, while Atletico believe he can give the team more creativity and solutions in the attacking phase.
The Portuguese has also been mentioned as an option for Real Madrid, but the Madrid club does not seem interested in entering the race for his services.
Although the deal is not yet considered closed, the latest signals favor Atletico. If the player continues to maintain the same attitude and the clubs reach a financial agreement, the transfer could take off very quickly in the coming weeks.
