Atlético de Madrid targets free‑agent Bernardo Silva

Atlético de Madrid consider Bernardo Silva a key piece for the upcoming season. The club sees a market opportunity to sign the world‑class midfielder as a free agent.

Silva will turn 32 in August. His contract with Manchester City expires, making him available without a transfer fee.

He has been a pivotal figure at Manchester City. His performances have contributed to the club’s recent successes.

Barcelona has entered the race for Silva in recent days. Atlético de Madrid has not withdrawn its interest despite the competition.

Acquiring a player of Silva’s calibre on a free transfer is rare in the market. Such a signing could strengthen Atlético’s midfield options for next season.

The club is expected to pursue negotiations in the coming weeks. The outcome will influence Atlético’s squad planning ahead of the new campaign.
