Man City keen to sell Bernardo Silva?

Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva is reportedly at risk of being offloaded by the club during a major summer reshuffle.

The former Monaco man played a key role in the Citizens' run to the Champions League final in the 2020-21 season, chipping in with one goal and two assists in 11 starts as City suffered heartbreak in the final against Chelsea.

Silva struggled for consistent starts in the latter stages of the Premier League season, though, as he was an unused substitute in three of the Citizens' last five Premier League games in their title-winning campaign.

According to The Telegraph, Pep Guardiola's side are planning a squad overhaul in the summer transfer window, and Silva - who has admirers across the continent - could be sold.

City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak has affirmed that the club will replace all-time leading goalscorer Sergio Aguero this summer, so any funds raised from Silva's potential sale could go towards signing a new centre-forward, with Harry Kane and Erling Braut Haaland still strongly linked with moves.

Silva has scored 35 goals and assisted 44 more in 201 appearances for City across all competitions, and his existing deal at the Etihad does not expire until 2025.
