Report: Bayern Munich join Bernardo Silva race

Bayern Munich are reportedly ready to battle Manchester United, Chelsea and Real Madrid for the signature of AS Monaco attacker Bernardo Silva at the end of the season.

Silva's club teammate Kylian Mbappe has drawn most of the attention in recent weeks, with the 18-year-old said to be a transfer target for all of the major players in European football this summer.

Silva has six goals and seven assists for Monaco in Ligue 1 this season, however, and the 22-year-old has also impressed during the club's run to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

It had been thought that Man United, Chelsea and Real Madrid were locked in a three-way fight for the signature of the Portuguese international this summer, but according to reports in Germany, Bayern are preparing a £70m bid for the attacker.

Silva has scored twice in seven Champions League appearances for Monaco this term.
