Real Madrid Enters Race for Veteran Playmaker Amid Barcelona, PSG Interest

Manchester City standout Bernardo Silva seems poised to leave the Premier League club this summer. The Portuguese player nearly left last year but remained with Pep Guardiola and his team for this campaign.

A recent report from Catalunya Ràdio reveals that Silva has practically decided to leave Manchester City this summer and maintains FC Barcelona is option No. 1.

With family in Barcelona, the veteran playmaker reportedly prioritizes the Blaugrana team and La Liga.

However, with Manchester City eliminated from the UEFA Champions League, his future is back in the spotlight. With Silva having a reasonable £50 million release clause, Daily Star Sport reports that there are several suitors for the 29-year-old.

According to the English media outlet, Real Madrid have jumped to the front of the queue in the race for Silva. Los Blancos, Barcelona, PSG, Bayern Munich, and Arsenal are all monitoring the situation closely, with a £50 million buyout clause in his contract.

Furthermore, Campos has a relationship with Silva as PSG’s club chief brought him over to AS Monaco. It will be interesting to see if either Barcelona or PSG come out on top in this race.
