Ready to leave Manchester City in the summer transfer window, Bernardo Silva has no shortage of proposals. Paris Saint-Germain and FC Barcelona dream of welcoming him. But his two European courtiers could lose all hope given that Saudi Arabia are also interested in the Portuguese midfield.
Saudi Arabia is not done with the European market. After the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo this winter, then that of Karim Benzema recently, the Saudi Pro League intends to use its financial power to attract other big names. And the targets are not necessarily at the end of their career. The proof, the Saudi media Sport 24 understands that Bernardo Silva could become one of the next stars of the local championship.
Saudi Arabia attack Bernardo Silva
The Al-Taï club would be interested in the middle of Manchester City and would have already started the first discussions. The Portuguese could receive a proposal for a three-year contract, and whose salary has not been revealed. We can easily imagine that the amount will be very high, probably too much to allow Paris Saint-Germain and FC Barcelona to line up. The capital club, via its football adviser Luis Campos, has nevertheless made Bernardo Silva its priority. The leader is looking for a left-hander capable of leading the right side. An interest that does not leave the Citizen insensitive.

We remember that the former Monegasque had not closed the door to Barça either last summer. A few months later, the calls from the foot of coach Xavi in the media surely did not escape him. It remains to be seen whether Bernardo Silva would be able to reject the Saudi millions in order to favor the sporting aspect, he who will only celebrate his 29th birthday in August. A possible extension to Manchester City should not be ruled out either, as manager Pep Guardiola is still a big admirer of the Portuguese international.
