Juventus are reportedly preparing a serious move for Manchester City’s Portuguese playmaker Bernardo Silva, who could leave the Premier League champions at the end of the season.
La Stampa report that the Bianconeri are keen to raise their level of creativity and experience in midfield, identifying Bernardo as the ideal addition to bring both class and personality to Luciano Spalletti’s side.
Initial contact has already been made with the player’s representatives as Juventus explore the feasibility of a summer transfer. However, they face strong competition from Barcelona and Benfica, both of whom remain interested in bringing the 31-year-old closer to home.
Bernardo, whose vision and technical ability have made him one of Europe’s most complete attacking midfielders, is understood to be evaluating his options as he contemplates what could be his final major career move.
