Juventus make initial contact for Juventus’ Bernardo Silva

Juventus have reignited their pursuit of Bernardo Silva as the Portuguese playmaker prepares to enter the final months of his illustrious tenure at Manchester City. According to an exclusive report by Mirko Di Natale for TuttoJuve, the Bianconeri have made fresh contact to express their interest in the 31-year-old, whose contract at the Etihad Stadium is set to expire in June.

Notably, Juventus are positioning themselves as serious contenders in what is expected to be a crowded race for the midfielder’s signature. With Silva available as a free agent in the summer, Cristiano Giuntoli is keen to lay the groundwork early to beat out a host of elite European clubs. Furthermore, this new approach signals a clear intent from the Turin giants to add world-class experience and creative flair to Luciano Spalletti’s midfield.

Indeed, while Manchester City have benefited from Silva’s brilliance for nearly a decade, his impending status as a free agent has made him the crown jewel of the upcoming summer market. Juventus have identified him as a priority target, viewing him as the ideal profile to elevate the squad’s technical level.

Consequently, as the January window progresses, the Bianconeri are expected to maintain constant dialogue with the player’s representatives. While a mid-season move remains highly unlikely, Juventus are determined to secure a pre-contract agreement to ensure Silva lands in Serie A for the 2026/27 campaign.
