Juventus are intensifying their pursuit of Bernardo Silva, with the Portuguese star now seriously evaluating a potential move to Turin after strong encouragement from several former Bianconeri players.

According to Nicolò Schira, the charm offensive from Juventus is beginning to have a real effect on the Manchester City midfielder.

Luciano Spalletti has reportedly placed Bernardo Silva at the very top of his wishlist as Juventus look to add creativity, experience, and technical quality to their midfield ahead of next season.

The Italian coach believes the Portuguese playmaker would be the perfect player to elevate the team’s attacking play and provide decisive service for the forwards.

Ronaldo, Danilo and Cancelo Recommend Juventus

Bernardo Silva is said to be gathering information about both Italian football and the Juventus environment before making a final decision.

In recent weeks, the Portuguese international reportedly spoke with former Juventus stars Cristiano Ronaldo, João Cancelo, and Danilo, all of whom strongly recommended a move to the Bianconeri.

Despite lucrative proposals arriving from clubs in the Saudi Pro League, MLS, and even Galatasaray, Bernardo Silva’s priority remains competing at the highest level in one of Europe’s elite leagues.

Spain and Italy are currently viewed as the most attractive destinations for the 31-year-old midfielder, with Juventus emerging as one of the strongest options on the table.

The Turkish giants are reportedly offering a two-year contract worth €10 million per season plus a substantial signing bonus, while Juventus are prepared to offer a deal until 2028 worth €6 million net annually plus bonuses linked to Champions League qualification, appearances, and goals, with an option for an extra season.

Juventus Ready to Open Talks with Jorge Mendes

Juventus directors are expected to deepen discussions with super-agent Jorge Mendes in the coming days as they attempt to pull off one of the biggest transfers of the summer.

Sources close to Bernardo Silva suggest the player is increasingly intrigued by Juventus’ interest and has already begun exploring whether Turin could be the ideal next step in his career.

Comparisons have even been drawn internally with Cristiano Ronaldo’s arrival in 2018, when the Portuguese superstar joined Juventus at a similar stage of his career.

At Continassa, there is growing optimism that the groundwork laid by Ronaldo and the other former Juventus players could help convince Bernardo Silva to say yes to the Old Lady. What started as simple interest may now be evolving into something far more concrete.
