Experienced midfielder Bernardo Silva of Manchester City may leave the team this summer. According to information released by the French publication Footmercato, one of Saudi Arabia's largest clubs, Al-Hilal, has made a serious offer to the 30-year-old Portuguese player.
Sources indicate that the Al-Hilal management has been thoroughly analyzing Silva's performances for the past few months and aims to make him the centerpiece of the team. The Saudis consider his experience and technical skills as crucial factors in enhancing the team's global image.
Currently, Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola is following a strategy of rejuvenating the squad, and this policy has increased the likelihood of Bernardo Silva leaving the team. A list of several young players who could potentially replace him at the club has also been formed.
Silva has been with the "Citizens" since 2017. In the completed season, he played in 49 matches across all competitions, contributing 5 goals and 4 assists to the team. Although his current contract with the club is set to last until 2026, transfer negotiations are ongoing.
If the agreement goes through, Bernardo Silva could become the next high-profile player to join the Saudi league, following stars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, and N'Golo Kante.
Football fans and experts are discussing how such a transfer could impact not only the financial aspects but also the player's sporting form and future activities with the national team.
Now, we await Silva's decision. However, one thing is clear — the Saudi Arabian football market is on the verge of attracting another star name.
