Negotiations between the club and the player are very advanced and the aim of both parties is to complete the deal in time for Portugal&#8217;s World Cup debut next Wednesday, June 17th. <\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">Bernardo Silva was requested by manager Jose Mourinho, and is a player who follows in the footsteps of Madrid&#8217;s free transfers in recent years, including David Alaba and Antonio Rudiger. Age, 31, was not an obstacle for Bernardo to become a Madrid player this time, after his brilliant career at City came to an end in May last year. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"ue-c-article__media ue-c-article__media--video  video-player\"><figcaption class=\"ue-c-article__media-caption\" itemprop=\"description\">\n<p><span class=\"ue-c-article__media-description\">Pope Leo receives special Real Madrid kit from Florentino Perez<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">Bernardo has had offers from Barcelona and Atl\u00e9tico Madrid in the past 15 days, but quick and decisive action by the white club was key to tipping the player towards the Santiago Bernab\u00e9u. Bernardo Silva wants to move closer to home after nine years in the Premier League, and Madrid is a perfect fit in this sense. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ue-c-article__subheadline\">The autograph session is coming soon<\/h2>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">With this impending signing, Real Madrid have secured a creative midfielder who can deliver immediate performance, which is exactly what Mourinho is looking for in his first season at Real Madrid. The Portuguese coach knows the club cannot afford to go through a second year without a trophy, which is why he is betting on experienced players. <\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">Once the deal is completed, Bernardo will once again share the pitch with Kylian Mbapp\u00e9, with whom he played at Monaco in the 2016-2017 season. At that time, the forward moved to PSG and the midfielder moved to Guardiola&#8217;s City, with whom he formed a great friendship. He will now play under Jose Mourinho.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marca.com\/en\/football\/spanish-football\/2026\/06\/11\/bernardo-silva-on-the-verge-of-becoming-a-madrid-player.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bernardo Silva is already close to becoming Real Madrid&#8217;s third signing of the season, following the signings of Florentino Perez, Konate and Dumfries.
