Juventus has reportedly initiated preliminary discussions regarding a potential move for Manchester City’s star midfielder, Bernardo Silva, who is set to become a free agent. However, according to reports from Gazzetta, the Italian giants are facing significant competition from several clubs, including Turkish side Galatasaray and Major League Soccer outfit Inter Miami.
It is widely understood that Bernardo Silva is a primary target for Juventus for the upcoming season, particularly appealing given that the Portuguese international’s contract expires in June, making him available without a transfer fee.

Gazzetta dello Sport confirms that the 31-year-old Portugal international has made the decision not to extend his current agreement with the Premier League champions. Consequently, he is expected to entertain offers from various clubs in the coming months.
To meet the midfielder’s anticipated salary demands, which are estimated to be between €7 million and €8 million per season, Juventus will likely need the financial boost from qualifying for the Champions League. The Bianconeri are well aware that the pursuit of Silva will be highly contested, with Galatasaray, Inter Miami, and Portuguese club Benfica reportedly among the interested parties.
Beyond Silva, Juventus is also actively exploring other free agent options. Midfielders like Leon Goretzka from Bayern Munich are on their radar, alongside defensive targets such as Roma’s Zeki Celik and Bournemouth’s Marcos Senesi.
