Milan market: duel with Juve for star outgoing from Manchester City

Manchester City star Bernardo Silva will leave the Premier League and England next season, and among the clubs contacted by agent Jorge Mendes would include Italian bigwigs Juventus and AC Milan. The rumors from England are more than just a market suggestion: contacts would indeed be ongoing between the Portuguese’s agents and the interested clubs.

No chance of a renewal with Manchester City: the class of 1994 will say goodbye to Guardiola’s team on a zero-parameter basis next summer, and he is looking around for a team where he can spend the last years of his career. The Arab option does not convince him much; there is talk of a possible return to Portugal, to Benfica. But a destination in Italy could intrigue the player.

Mendes is sounding out the market, and has reportedly made contact with the Bianconeri and Rossoneri. However, the parameters of the operation are complicated: at the moment, the former Monaco player earns 10 million euros net, a sum out of the budget for both the Old Lady and the Diavolo.

Bernardo Silva has been at Manchester City since 2017: in the Sky Blues he won practically everything. In his career he has also played at Benfica, his club of origin, and Monaco.
