Bernardo Silva has become a reality. Real Madrid have announced that he will be joining him until 2028, with the option of a further one-year extension. The Portuguese player, who is currently playing at the World Cup with his national team, joins Cucurella (already announced), Dumfries and Konate (unannounced).
“As reported by MARCA, on June 11, negotiations between Bernardo and the club were at a very advanced stage. Today, it is already official. Bernardo Silva joined on a free transfer after the expiry of his contract with Manchester City and has been a key player for manager Josep Guardiola since joining in 2017.”

“Ultimately I will look for a team where I feel they want me and they really need me. That is very important and they will know on the day I make my decision,” the Portuguese revealed a few weeks ago. That team eventually became Real Madrid, and moved to sign him ahead of Barcelona and Atlético Madrid.
Mo’s request
Bernardo Silva is a clear request from manager Jose Mourinho. He was the main name talked about a week ago during a summit with José Ángel Sánchez, Juni Calafat, Jorge Mendes and the manager himself, when the Portuguese coach descended on the capital on a whirlwind visit to Valdebebas and plan certain aspects of the upcoming campaign.
In this way, the team wearing white coats has added another player who will be able to play immediately. The Portuguese player’s profile is well established and the 31-year-old promises to reinvigorate a midfield that is in need of fresh air after a mixed season with his creativity and flair.
