Man City star linked with Juventus and AC Milan transfer

Manchester City star Bernardo Silva could be the next big name to leave the Premier League, as Juventus and AC Milan are both showing interest in signing him on a free transfer in 2026.

Silva’s agent Jorge Mendes has already held early talks with both Italian clubs. The Portuguese midfielder earns around €10 million per year, a salary that may be hard for Serie A teams to match.

Silva’s current contract with Manchester City runs until 2026, and he has not yet agreed to an extension. Reports say Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, and several Saudi Arabian clubs have also shown interest.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that Silva has received huge offers from Saudi Arabian teams, and he could consider moving there. The 31-year-old has hinted that he might not extend his stay at City and could leave England next summer.

Since joining City from Monaco in 2017, Silva has made 416 appearances, scored 72 goals, and provided 74 assists. He has helped the club win six Premier League titles and was a key player in their 2023 Champions League victory.

After Kevin De Bruyne moved to Napoli, Silva became Manchester City captain, showing how important he still is to the team.

There are also rumours that Silva could return to Benfica, the club where he began his career. However, his new leadership role under Pep Guardiola might convince him to stay longer.

For now, Juventus and AC Milan are keeping close watch, hoping to bring Silva’s talent and experience to Serie A if he decides to leave City.
