According to Calciomercato, AC Milan has made initial contact with Bernardo Silva over a potential summer transfer. Sources in Italy suggest that AC Milan considers Silva a transformative signing. AC Milan reportedly views the Portuguese player as a marquee signing who could provide balance, leadership, and Champions League-winning experience. Silva’s significant wage package is said to be the main obstacle for the club, as he currently earns approximately €10 million net per season at Man City, an amount AC Milan cannot easily match due to their financial constraints. Negotiations are expected to depend on Silva’s willingness to accept a lower salary for a prominent role and long-term security in Serie A. Silva is understood to be keen to stay in Europe and prioritizes competitiveness and legacy above financial gain. He has previously expressed admiration for Italian football and praised the tactical sophistication and emphasis on intelligent play in Serie A.

According to Goal.com, AC Milan are reportedly interested in Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva, who is set to become a free agent in 2026. AC Milan have held exploratory talks with Silva’s agent, Jorge Mendes, but neither club has entered formal negotiations.

CalcioMercato reports on the potential transfer of 31-year-old Portuguese attacking midfielder Bernardo Silva, whose contract with Manchester City expires on June 30, 2026. For what is said to be the first time under the current management, his contract may not be renewed, which would allow him to leave on a free transfer. The situation has prompted his agent, Jorge Mendes, to explore the market, with contacts having been made in Italy with both Milan and Juve. Transfer speculation was intensified by comments the player made to the BBC, stating that he knows exactly what he will do in 2026 but that it is not the right moment to discuss it. According to Transfermarkt, the player currently has a market value of €38 million.
