Juventus Plot Free Transfer for Man City Captain Bernardo Silva in 2026

The 31-year-old reaches the last year of his City deal, with pre-contract talks abroad permitted from January 1, 2026.

Overview

  • Italian reports say Juventus have begun exploring a Bosman move for Bernardo Silva when his Manchester City contract runs out in June 2026, with early groundwork under way.
  • No agreement or formal negotiations with Juventus are reported, and Silva is not currently in renewal talks at City according to Tuttosport.
  • Silva was named City captain after a summer of senior departures, underscoring his importance even as his contract winds down.
  • Juve’s interest is influenced by recent high-profile free arrivals to Serie A, including Kevin De Bruyne to Napoli and Luka Modrić to Milan.
  • Finances could be a hurdle, with reports citing Silva’s current wages near €10 million net and the likelihood of strong competition if he becomes available.
