Bernardo Silva looks to be on the verge of a Manchester City exit as his contract at the Etihad Stadium expires in the summer.
The midfielder won his first silverware on Sunday as the Citizens beat Arsenal in the Carabao Cup final. It was his 18th trophy during his tenure at the club, but it is unlikely to have any impact on his decision regarding his future.
sports witness We've covered the angle on which Juventus are pushing to sign the Portuguese. It is said that there was already an offer on the table for the midfielder, and that talks had already taken place with his agent Jorge Mendes.
The Old Lady have a long-standing working relationship with the super agent and can now help them seal a deal for the Manchester City player.
Juve offered another player
gazzetta dello sport Report that the Bianconeri have indeed spoken to Mendes for Bernardo. During these negotiations, they were also offered the chance to sign Porto's star goalkeeper Diogo Costa.
The Portugal international is believed to consider the summer of 2026 as the right time for an exit. He has been at Porto since the age of 11 and Juve could now be his next destination as they look for a new goalkeeper.
The move is being considered in Turin, where the Manchester City player is seen as an important transfer opportunity. The main reason for this is that he is a free agent and still provides a lot of value to the team.
Meanwhile, a deal for Costa is likely to cost around €50 million, but this could be reduced due to Mendes.
Confirmation from Spain regarding Manchester City player
game The 31-year-old man has also been reported in detail in Spain. He is confident that Juve actually have an offer for the multiple-time Premier League winner.
Mendes has made it clear to suitors that money is not the player's priority and Bernardo is more focused on the current project. Part of the ex-Benfica player's family lives in Barcelona, in which the Catalan club also have interest.
The only reason he has not made a formal approach yet is lack of space in the team. Bernardo will be in a starting position but all the slots in midfield at Barcelona are already filled.

Everything indicates that Mendes is now really pushing to find a new club for the midfielder. Maybe that's why information about Bernardo is spreading in many countries.
Since Juve have also been given the chance to sign Diogo Costa, this suggests that they could be the favorites for his signature.
Unlike Barcelona, he will have a starting spot in midfield free for next season. Manuel Locatelli and Khefren Thuram are the only two designated starters in midfield. Bernardo can operate as a more advanced midfielder in the current setup.
He has been playing that role at Manchester City this season and will have no trouble fitting into it.
