Juventus could consider a surprise move for Bernardo Silva as the Portuguese midfielder struggles for playing time at Real Madrid.
According to TuttoJuve, the Bianconeri continue to monitor the 32-year-old, although there is currently no confirmation of concrete negotiations between the clubs.

Silva joined Real Madrid from Manchester City during the summer transfer window, bringing experience, technical quality and excellent ball control.
However, his adventure in Spain has reportedly failed to meet expectations, with his role under José Mourinho gradually diminishing.
Bernardo Silva Falls Out of Mourinho’s Plans
The midfielder’s statistics highlight his difficulties. Across the first eight rounds of La Liga, Silva reportedly made six appearances, including three starts, accumulating just 282 minutes. He registered one assist without scoring a goal.
His situation allegedly worsened following the match against Rayo Vallecano on September 12. Since then, he has played only a few minutes against Atlético Madrid before remaining unused in subsequent fixtures against Elche and Villarreal.
Mourinho’s tactical preferences appear to have contributed to Silva’s reduced involvement. Federico Valverde and Aurélien Tchouaméni have become important figures in midfield, while Arda Güler has gained greater prominence in attacking areas.
Consequently, the Portuguese international has found himself increasingly on the fringes of the squad, potentially attracting interest from other European clubs.

Juventus Consider Opportunity as Loan Move Emerges
Juventus could view Silva as an attractive option to strengthen Luciano Spalletti’s squad. The Bianconeri are seeking greater creativity, technical quality and the ability to produce decisive moments in the final third.
Silva’s versatility would be particularly valuable. Capable of playing as a central midfielder, attacking midfielder or playmaker, the former Manchester City star possesses the vision and movement needed to connect midfield with attack.
A potential loan move could become an interesting possibility if his situation in Madrid does not improve. However, such an arrangement would likely depend on Real Madrid agreeing to cover part of his salary.
For now, there is no official confirmation of negotiations between Juventus and Real Madrid. The Bianconeri’s reported interest remains a scenario to monitor rather than an advanced transfer.
