Bernardo Silva Transfer from Manchester City to Real Madrid
Real Madrid's official announcement of Bernardo Silva's signing occurred on Wednesday (17), but according to sources who informed ESPN, the deal had been finalized the previous week. At that time, Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid were still competing for the player. The return of José Mourinho to Madrid was a key factor. A source revealed to ESPN that a decisive meeting occurred on June 9 at the Hotel Santo Mauro in Madrid, which was attended by club officials and agent Jorge Mendes. During this meeting, Mourinho expressed that signing Bernardo was an absolute priority for him. Mendes, who is the representative for both Mourinho and Bernardo, acted immediately, and the deal was concluded within days. Bernardo, aged 31, had indicated that following his career at Manchester City, he wanted to play in Spain. Real Madrid offered him a two-year contract that included an option for an additional season. These conditions surpassed those offered by Barcelona. Mourinho also promised Bernardo a more prominent role than the one Hansi Flick could provide at Barcelona. Silva's desire to continue as a guaranteed starter was another decisive factor. The Portuguese player chose to sign with Real Madrid, securing a contract until 2028.
