According to Gianluca Di Marzio, three Italian clubs are interested in Bernardo Silva, whose contract with Manchester City expires at the end of the season after nine years. SSC Napoli is also interested in him.

Former footballer Paolo Di Canio stated that according to rumors, Bernardo Silva could arrive in Italy during the January transfer window because his contract with Manchester City is ending. According to Di Canio, both Napoli and Juventus are possible destinations for the Portuguese player. In April 2025, it was reported Manchester City might accept approximately €40 million for the player, while a release clause of £50 million was also mentioned.
