Juventus are moving decisively in the transfer market and have set their sights on one of the most coveted names ahead of the upcoming summer window: Bernardo Silva.
According to reports from TuttoJuve, the Portuguese midfielder is increasingly likely to leave Manchester City at the end of the season, bringing to a close a highly successful chapter under Pep Guardiola.

Bernardo Silva set to leave Manchester City
Bernardo Silva has already made it clear that he does not intend to renew his contract, a decision that has inevitably caught the attention of Europe’s elite clubs.
Manchester City are fully aware that this could be the player’s final campaign in the Citizens’ shirt, and Guardiola himself has hinted on several occasions that Silva is ready for a new challenge after winning virtually everything in England and on the continental stage.
Despite turning 30, Bernardo Silva continues to deliver performances of the highest level. His game is built on tactical intelligence, technical quality and an extraordinary ability to read situations on the pitch.
These qualities, combined with his leadership, make him a rare profile on the market. The possibility of signing him on a free transfer only increases his appeal and explains why competition for his signature is expected to be fierce.
Juventus planning a statement move
As reported by TuttoJuve, Juventus have already initiated preliminary contacts to assess the feasibility of the operation. In Turin, the Portuguese international is viewed as a cornerstone for the club’s ongoing technical rebuild.

With a squad that is becoming increasingly young, the Bianconeri are actively searching for players with international experience and a strong personality, capable of guiding the team both in Serie A and in European competitions.
Bernardo Silva fits this vision perfectly. His development under Guardiola has turned him into a true “coach on the pitch”, able to interpret multiple roles with ease.
He can operate as a central midfielder, an advanced playmaker or a wide attacking player, adapting seamlessly to different tactical systems. This versatility represents a significant added value for a Juventus side aiming to return permanently to the top.
While competition from other top clubs will be intense, Juventus believe that moving early could make the difference. If no unexpected twists emerge, Bernardo Silva is widely expected to be one of the standout free-agent signings of the summer — and Juventus are determined to be at the forefront of that race.
