Barcelona, Atletico Madrid 'set to compete for Bernardo Silva'

Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are reportedly both interested in signing Manchester City attacker Bernardo Silva during this summer's transfer window.

The Premier League champions are attempting to secure a £100m deal for Jack Grealish and are then expected to turn their attention to Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane.

According to the Daily Mail, Man City will have to move players on to balance the books, and Silva is expected to leave the Etihad Stadium in the coming weeks.

The report claims that Barcelona and Atletico are both in the mix for the Portugal international, who still has four years left to run on his contract at the Etihad Stadium.

The 26-year-old has scored 35 goals and registered 44 assists in 201 appearances for Man City since joining the club from Monaco in July 2017.

Silva was again an important player for the Citizens during the 2020-21 campaign, making 45 appearances in all competitions, scoring five goals and registering nine assists in the process.
