Bernardo Silva is expected to receive a number of offers as he approaches a move away from Manchester City, sources close to the agent industry say. CaughtOffside.
After nearly a decade at the Etihad Stadium, the Portuguese is preparing to move on, bringing an unusual chapter in his career to a close.
Man City have confirmed that Silva will leave at the end of the season, marking the end of nine years that helped define the club’s most successful period.
During his time in Manchester, Silva collected an impressive list of honours, including six Premier League titles and a UEFA Champions League title.
Manager Pep Guardiola spoke freely of the emotional weight of Silva’s exit, describing it as losing a part of him, a clear indication of how important the midfielder was to the club’s identity.
Juventus are leading the race but there are still many players left
With Silva on the horizon, interest from across Europe has grown. Juventus appear to be one of the main contenders in this division, and reports suggest that the Italian giants are already in contact with his agent, Jorge Mendes.
The Turin club are believed to have proposed a three-year contract worth around 7 million euros per season, with bonuses that could bring the figure closer to 8-9 million euros per year.
Juventus are eyeing Silva not just as a marquee signing but as a central part of their tactical structure under Luciano Spalletti.
His ability to operate in midfield and attacking roles makes him a perfect fit in a system that values technical precision and smart movement.
Demand is high for the experienced Man City star
However, Juventus are far from the only club interested. Barcelona have long admired Silva, and the idea of playing in La Liga has reportedly appealed to the midfielder in the past.
Financial challenges, however, continue to make it difficult to pursue Barcelona.
Another emotional possibility is a return to Benfica, the club where Silva began his professional journey. Such a move would have a strong impact, although financial considerations would make it difficult to match offers from Europe’s top leagues.
Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain remains silent on the situation. The French champions have yet to make a definitive move, as their transfer strategy is currently focused on strengthening other areas of the club.
Beyond Europe, Al Hilal has emerged as a strong financial option, willing to offer wages above the standard European rates.
Despite that, Silva is widely believed to prefer to continue his career at the highest level of competition in Europe rather than an early exit outside the continent.
