Francisco Conceicao comments on Juventus links with Bernardo Silva

Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva has been linked with a move away from the club heading into the summer transfer window.

Bernardo Silva has been a reliable performer for Manchester City since arriving from AS Monaco in a £43 million deal, and he has helped them win every club trophy. The veteran playmaker is now nearing the end of his contract at the club, and he has been linked with multiple clubs.

Juventus are interested in securing his signature, and Francisco Conceicao has now heaped praise on his compatriot and claimed that every club in the world would like to sign him. It will be interesting to see if Silva is willing to move to Italy and join Juventus.

The 31-year-old is entering the twilight stages of his career, and this could be the right time for him to take on a new challenge. Silva has the physicality and technical attributes for English football, and he could be a key player for Juventus.

The midfielder has the quality to slot into multiple roles. His versatility would be a huge bonus for Juventus. They are looking to build a team capable of winning major trophies, and Bernardo Silva has extensive winning experience and leadership qualities which will help them.

Conceicao said via , “Bernardo Silva? I know Bernardo very well, I know he’s strong, but we haven’t talked about this. I don’t know if Juventus will want to buy him, but if they were to ask me anything, I’d tell them that Juventus is a great club and that we want to win here. Every team in the world would like to have Bernardo Silva.” 

Can Manchester City replace Silva properly?

It will be interesting to see if Manchester City can replace Bernardo Silva properly. They have struggled to replace Kevin De Bruyne, and Silva’s departure will leave another gaping hole in their creative unit.

The Premier League heavyweights will need to replace the player properly. He has been an indispensable asset to them and ever-present for the team. Meanwhile, the Portuguese international will look to make his mark in Italy if the transfer goes through.
