Juventus target Bernardo Silva for 2026 free transfer

For the upcoming summer transfer window of 2026, Juventus are reportedly planning to pursue Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva. The 31-year-old Portuguese international, who has been with City since 2017 and currently serves as the club captain, has been a consistent performer, including helping City secure a 3-0 win over Manchester United in the recent derby. Silva’s contract with Manchester City is set to expire in June 2026, making him a free agent and eligible to negotiate a pre-contract agreement with another club.

Juventus, who finished fourth in Serie A last season and are currently second after four matches this season, are reportedly impressed with Silva’s quality and consistency. The Turin club has already started laying the groundwork for a contract aimed at securing Silva for the 2026-27 season. Silva’s experience and skill would make him one of the top signings in Serie A, following in the footsteps of other big names like Kevin De Bruyne’s move to Napoli and Luka Modric’s to AC Milan.
