Juventus have reportedly expressed their interest in Manchester City star Bernardo Silva, opening exploratory talks with super-agent Jorge Mendes as they assess a potential move for the Portuguese midfielder.
La Gazzetta dello Sport report that the Bianconeri remain highly active in the free-agent market, targeting opportunities to strengthen ahead of next season. Marcos Senesi, whose contract with Bournemouth expires in June, is among the main names on their list, alongside Spanish defender Óscar Mingueza. Yet, the most intriguing name to emerge around the Allianz Stadium is undoubtedly Bernardo Silva — a player whose quality and experience would represent a major leap in level for the Juventus midfield.
A New Chapter Ahead for Bernardo Silva
The Portuguese playmaker is expected to leave Manchester City at the end of the current campaign, bringing an end to his immensely successful spell under Pep Guardiola. Seeking a fresh challenge, Bernardo has entrusted Mendes with finding the right destination for the next stage of his career.
Mendes is said to be exploring several avenues across Europe’s elite clubs while also evaluating interest from Saudi Arabia. Among the various contacts, one has reportedly taken place with Juventus, who are curious about the feasibility of such a move.
Juventus’ Stance on the Deal
Within the Juventus hierarchy, there is genuine intrigue regarding the idea of adding Bernardo Silva’s creativity, experience, and leadership to Thiago Motta’s squad for the 2026–27 season. Chief executive Damien Comolli and sporting director Marco Ottolini have made preliminary enquiries, officially entering what promises to be a competitive race for the playmaker’s signature.
While the financial aspects of such a deal would make it a complex operation — especially given that Bernardo’s profile places him among the highest earners in Europe — Juventus intend to present their credentials through the club’s heritage, ambition, and long-term sporting project.
