Manchester City star Bernardo Silva is now reportedly on the radar for Juventus ahead of the January transfer window.

According to CalcioMercato, the Serie A giants are keen on signing a midfielder when the market re-opens in three months time. And City playmaker Silva has been seen as a potential option for Juventus.

The Portuguese international was linked with a move away from City over the summer. However, Silva has since emerged as one of the club’s best players this season.

The midfielder, who City signed for £43m in 2017 according to Sky Sports News, has started all but one Premier League game for Pep Guardiola’s side this campaign.

Indeed, with Silva once again establishing himself as one of the most important players in the City squad, a move to Juventus seems incredibly unlikely at this stage.

Whilst the midfielder wanted to leave in the summer, things can change quickly in football. And the thought of Silva leaving City for Juventus sounds improbable.
