Fenerbahçe's management is preparing an offer for Bernardo Silva, who is also a target for their rival, Galatasaray, and is prepared to meet the necessary conditions for the transfer. The management considers the Portuguese player a top priority and is preparing to make an offer higher than the one from their rival. According to Takvim, Fenerbahçe's sporting director Devin Özek and football branch manager Ertan Torunoğulları will travel to England after the Galatasaray derby for an initial meeting with Bernardo Silva's agent. The club's objective is to have the player sign before the World Cup. It is also claimed that significant individuals connected to the club are preparing to offer financial support for this transfer. Fenerbahçe has informed the player's representatives that they are prepared to pay his salary, which is €19.5 million annually including bonuses at Manchester City and approximately €12 million after taxes. It is also stated that the Fenerbahçe management has involved Nelson Semedo in this transfer. Semedo, a national teammate of Bernardo Silva, has provided details about the club.

According to Fanatik, Bernardo Silva prefers to stay in Europe and play in the Champions League rather than moving to Saudi Arabia. The player's reason for leaving Manchester City is reportedly the weather and climate conditions in Manchester. He stated that he no longer wanted to live in a gloomy environment. Istanbul is seen as a suitable option for Silva.

Yağız Sabuncuoğlu reported that Fenerbahçe has quickly started preparing an offer for Bernardo Silva. The club has been prompted to act swiftly by the player's desire to determine his new team before the World Cup.

According to the Turkish newspaper Fanatik, Fenerbahce executives are expected to meet with Bernardo Silva's agent in the coming days. The player will leave Manchester City at the end of his ninth and final season, and on June 30, he will be a free agent.
