earlier this month, sports witness Calciomercato IT covered claims about Juventus' interest in Manchester City star Bernardo Silva.
The Italian side was in contact with the Portuguese contingent. There have been no signs of renewal, with Bernardo's contract expiring in the summer.
This was giving Juve hope for a free transfer, as they were expecting a decision in the next few weeks. The Old Lady were also preparing a two-year deal for the versatile midfielder.
There have been developments since then but it seems certain that the player will leave Manchester City.
Manchester City players listening to the offer
La Stampa – relayed by black and whiteCitizens mention star as Juve target.
He is sure he will leave Manchester City but his next club is still in danger. Despite interest from the Italian giants, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain also see the situation as an opportunity. Saudi Arabian clubs can also make big offers.
Meanwhile, the 31-year-old is listening to approaches from his agent Jorge Mendes. Juve have put their own offer on the table in an attempt to beat off the competition quickly.
Luciano Spalletti's team has not received any response yet but is working towards achieving the goal. The Portugal international is seen as somewhat of a dream prospect, with his free agent status appealing to him.
Bernardo will depart as a club legend
Sometimes, it's easy to forget that the former Monaco player is still only 31 and has many years of football left in him.
Despite this, he has achieved a lot at Manchester City. He has played 442 times for Pep Guardiola in various positions. This season, he has become a fixture on the right wing in times of need, which says a lot about his availability.
Winning silverware again this season would go a long way in paying tribute to Bernardo, who deserves a lot of credit for his service.
