Real Madrid has emerged as the frontrunner in the pursuit of Bernardo Silva. The Portuguese midfielder, who joined for £60 million from Monaco in 2017, has expressed a preference for a move to Spain.
Barcelona’s financial troubles have created an opportunity for Real Madrid to make a move for Silva. Despite this, City’s versatile and integral player has caught the attention of Real Madrid’s hierarchy, particularly through his performances against Carlo Ancelotti’s team in European competitions.
Given his success at City, winning numerous league titles, the Champions League, FA Cups, and League Cups, Silva is considered a perfect fit. It appears inevitable that Silva will eventually move abroad, with Real Madrid likely to secure his transfer.
This raises the question of whether City should make every effort to retain him.
