Bernardo Silva’s agent Jorge Mendes has reportedly offered the Manchester City captain to Real Madrid, but the club isn’t biting.

Mendes approached the La Liga giants multiple times about a potential move, possibly even on a free transfer in 2026.
Silva, 30, has two years left on his City contract but is not expected to renew, fueling speculation about a future exit.
Despite his leadership and quality, the spanish team remain unconvinced. The club is now prioritising younger midfielders to shape their future core.
Toni Kroos has retired and Luka Modric recently joined AC Milan, leaving gaps in the midfield that many thought Silva could fill.
But Los Blancos are focused on long-term replacements, targeting players like Vitinha or Alexis Mac Allister, rather than veterans nearing their twilight years.
Even the idea of landing Bernardo on a free has not swayed Madrid, who admire him but feel he doesn’t fit their vision, reports Madrid Universal.
For now, Mendes is still working to secure a top European destination for his client. But Real Madrid, it seems, have different priorities.
Silva remains a crucial figure at City but uncertainty about his future continues to grow as the summer window unfolds.
