Bernardo Silva has been a regular in midfield this season for Manchester City.
The Portuguese attacker has played 12 times in all competitions, scoring once and assisting once. As Manchester City slowly undergo a transition, there is the possibility of the 31-year-old departing.
Bernardo Silva’s current deal at the Etihad runs until 2026, and clubs are now circling around him.
Some weeks ago, Calciomercato covered AC Milan’s interest in the midfielder. Juventus have also been linked with a move.
L’Interista now report on Inter Milan’s interest in bringing Silva to the San Siro in 2026.
Cristian Chivu’s side are expected to lose Henrikh Mkhitaryan next summer. They are now already looking around for replacements, with the Manchester City player seen as a target.
Beppe Marotta has a great track record of landing free agents since his time at Juventus.
Silva is seen as a major upgrade on Mkhitaryan, but a move will only progress if the Portugal international agrees to a wage cut.
Inter’s highest earner is Lautaro Martinez and he gets €9m per season. As of now, Silva earns €10m per season at Manchester City.
That is why the versatile midfielder will have to reduce his wage demands. There is belief he would add ‘magic’ and ‘imagination’ to Chivu’s side and guarantees more goals than Mkhitaryan.
