In light of his links to Barcelona, Jorge Mendes is said to have made an offer to Real Madrid for Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva.
Barcelona are reportedly interested in Bernardo Silva, according to a report by the Spanish publication Don Diario.
The player’s representatives and the La Liga champions are discussing a potential summer transfer window move.
However, Jorge Mendes has made a €58 million offer to Real Madrid for the Manchester City playmaker.
Since moving from AS Monaco to Manchester City in July 2017, Silva has established himself as one of the top performers in the Premier League.
Because of his technical skill and ball control, Pep Guardiola has relied on the Portuguese international as a reliable player, especially when the situation has become tougher.
There have been instances where Guardiola has not selected the 29-year-old as his first choice.
Though he has frequently hinted at leaving the Etihad, a departure has never happened.
