"Yes, I want to decide on my next club before the World Cup,” the Manchester City captain said in an interview with Canal 11 (h/t SPORT). “I'd like to arrive in Portugal with my future already sorted,” he added."
"The Catalans have been long-time admirers of the versatile midfielder and have tried to sign him on multiple occasions in the past. They are understood to be monitoring his situation now, too, although he is not a priority."
"One of the clubs pushing hardest to sign Silva at this point are Juventus. The Bianconeri are already working on a formal proposal and remain in constant contact with Jorge Mendes in an effort to convince the midfielder."
"Meanwhile, Silva continues to dream of a move to Barcelona and is waiting to see if the Catalans make a move. In fact, reports in Spain have suggested that Mendes has tried to convince the La Liga champions to consider signing the 31-year-old."
Bernardo Silva will end his time at Manchester City this summer when his contract expires. At 31, he believes it is time for a new challenge and wants his next club decided before the World Cup to avoid uncertainty. He has expressed a desire to have his future settled so he can arrive in Portugal with clarity. Juventus is actively pursuing him, working on a formal proposal and maintaining contact with Jorge Mendes. Barcelona is also monitoring his situation and has long admired him, though he is not considered a top priority. Sporting director Deco and club leadership view Silva as a good fit for the team’s style, but a move is not yet imminent.
