Juventus line up Man City alternative as Bernardo Silva eyes Spain move

Manchester City/X.com

Juventus are preparing alternative midfield targets as their pursuit of Manchester City playmaker Bernardo Silva faces growing uncertainty.

The 31-year-old Portugal international is set to leave Manchester City this summer, but recent reports suggest he would prefer a move to Spain over a switch to Serie A.

That development has prompted Juventus to explore other options, with Gazzetta dello Sport naming Tijjani Reijnders and Brahim Díaz as potential targets.

Reijnders, 27, only joined Manchester City from AC Milan last year but has seen his role fluctuate in recent months amid rotation in midfield.

Díaz, 26, has remained a squad option at Real Madrid rather than a consistent starter, making him a more attainable target depending on Madrid’s stance.

Both players are viewed as flexible alternatives capable of operating in advanced midfield roles, similar to Silva’s creative profile.

Bernardo is leaving City as part of a major summer reshuffle at the Etihad.

Juventus continue to rebuild their squad following another transitional season, with creativity in midfield identified as a priority area.

However, Silva’s preference for Spain could force the Italian club into a different direction earlier than planned.
