Bernardo Silva has been a very crucial figure in AS Monaco’s midfield this season and has played a significant role in leading the Ligue 1 side reach the top of the table. He is one of the stars for the French club side with nine goals and five assists so far in all competitions this season.
Silva immediately made an impact in Ligue 1 since being loaned out by his previous club Benfica in 2014 to join AS Monaco. As a reward for his good work with the club, he was presented with a permanent deal in 2015. He scored nine goals for AS Monaco and provided three assists to help the French side qualify for the Champions League.
The Portuguese midfielder’s skills have been long recognised by his compatriot and Manchester United Boss Jose Mourinho, and with all of Juan Mata, Henrikh Mkhitaryan or Wayne Rooney failing to make a mark as an attacking midfielder in the current season, the opportunity is tailor-made for Bernardo Silva to show some of his brilliance in the Red Devil’s jersey next season. It will also be an excellent opportunity for the youngster to play in one of the World’s top leagues and under the guidance of one of the best coaches in the world.
Other than Manchester United, Spanish Giants Real Madrid are also on the trail of the 22-year-old midfielder for quite a long time. His agent Jorge Mendes, who is also the agent of Real Madrid superstar and current Balon D’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo, is rumoured to have talks regarding the Monaco midfielder’s departure from his current club. Rumours are that Bernardo Silva is himself very much interested in becoming a part of the Galacticos in the next season.
Current Premier League leaders Chelsea can be another probable destination for the Portuguese midfielder in the coming season. With the possibility of the talismanic midfielder Eden Hazard leaving Stamford Bridge next season, the Blues boss Antonio Conte is already in search of reinforcements that can help him continue his great run in the next season as well. Bernardo Silva, with his guile and intelligent ball play in the midfield, can be the perfect candidate to fit the bill for the Italian mastermind.
Bernardo Silva is known for his ability with the left foot. He can make darting runs into the opposition half and is also has enigmatic dribbling skills. Bernardo Silva can be a prized possession for any of the big-name clubs in the world and can be crucial as an attacker.
