Report: Man City star is being eyed by Juventus in ambitious free-transfer move
Juventus are exploring the possibility of signing Bernardo Silva on a free transfer this summer, with the Manchester City midfielder’s contract situation attracting increasing attention across Europe.
According to Calciomercato, the Portuguese playmaker is approaching the final months of his deal at the Etihad Stadium, and there has been no clear indication that an extension is imminent.
Silva, now 31, has been a crucial figure in Man City’s domestic and European dominance under Pep Guardiola.
Since arriving from Monaco in 2017, he has collected multiple Premier League titles and played a key role in City’s historic treble-winning campaign.
Man City are set to enter a transitional phase
His experience, versatility, and relentless work rate have made him one of the most trusted lieutenants in Guardiola’s system, capable of operating centrally, out wide, or in a deeper midfield role.
However, with City entering a period of subtle transition and younger options emerging within the squad, questions about Silva’s long-term future have resurfaced.
The Portuguese international has previously been linked with moves to Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain, but Juventus now appear ready to capitalise on the possibility of signing him without a transfer fee.
Reason why Juventus are interested in Bernardo Silva
For Juventus, the appeal is obvious. The Turin giants are seeking experienced leaders capable of elevating their midfield creativity after an inconsistent campaign in Serie A.
Silva’s technical quality and big-game pedigree would offer immediate impact, particularly as the club aims to reassert itself domestically and in Europe.
Juventus are also monitoring Éderson of Atalanta, though securing the Brazilian may prove more complicated.
Atlético Madrid are reportedly strong admirers, and Atalanta are known to demand premium fees for key players.
By contrast, Silva’s potential availability on a free transfer presents a rare market opportunity.
