Real Madrid are planning for the future. After the legendary Toni Kroos, Luka Modric, and Casemiro era, their midfield is entering a new era.
They want younger legs. That is why they are scouting players who can grow with the team.
Names like Vitinha and Alexis Mac Allister are being watched, though neither player is easy to sign.
Their Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool are not eager to sell, and the price tags are high.
But now, something unexpected has happened.
A senior star from Manchester City has entered the picture.
His agent, Jorge Mendes, has already reached out to Real Madrid more than once.
The message is clear: the player would be open to a move, and the possibility of a free transfer down the line has also been mentioned.
This is no ordinary player either. He is one of City’s most trusted men.
He has won it all. From English domestic to European trophies, he has a trophy cabinet to be proud of.
Yet he wants a new challenge before it is too late.
At 31, he is not part of Real Madrid’s long-term plans. That is the problem.
The club prefers to invest in players who are five to six years younger.
Even with all his talent, the leadership at Valdebebas has not shown strong interest.
They respect him. But they are not sure he fits their project anymore.
According to DefensaCentral, Jorge Mendes is pushing Real Madrid to make a move for Bernardo Silva.
The treble winner does not want to renew his contract with City, which ends in 2026.
But the Los Blancos are not convinced yet. The decision now rests with Florentino Perez and his team.
Xabi Alonso is preparing a team with a long-term vision.
So, Bernardo Silva can be a great signing for Real Madrid. But, the Portuguese will be a short-term solution ,which Alonso doesn’t want.
