Following stints at Benfica, AS Monaco, and Manchester City since 2017, Silva is now keen to take on a new challenge in a different league.
A Bola states that while Barcelona appears to be the frontrunner for his signature, Juventus is also a viable option.

The Bianconeri are reportedly offering a salary of up to €8 million per season.
While this salary is modest compared to those offered in leagues like the Saudi Pro League or Major League Soccer, it seems Bernardo Silva would prefer to stay in Europe.
Other contenders include Benfica and Galatasaray, but the primary competition appears to be between Barcelona and Juventus.
