31-year-old Portuguese international Bernardo Silva is being linked with a move to Serie A, with his contract at Manchester City set to expire at the end of the season. Pundit Paolo Di Canio claimed that an English source indicated the player could arrive in Italy in January. While Juventus has also been linked with the player in recent weeks, Di Canio suggested that Como would be an ideal solution. In 2023, Cesc Fabregas, then Como's coach, identified Bernardo Silva as the type of player he would like to sign from the Premier League. The attacking midfielder, who has 107 caps for Portugal, has a current Transfermarkt market value of €27.00m and has provided two assists in 21 Premier League appearances this season. In April 2025, it was reported that Manchester City might accept a fee of €40 million for the player.
