Barcelona, Atletico 'keen to sign Bernardo Silva on loan'

Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are reportedly both keen on signing Manchester City attacker Bernardo Silva on loan before the end of the transfer window.

Citizens boss Pep Guardiola revealed earlier this month that Bernardo is keen to leave the Etihad Stadium this summer in search of pastures new.

The Portugal international is believed to have rejected the chance to move to Tottenham Hotspur, as he wants to move to Spain in order to be closer to his family.

According to 90min, both Barcelona and Atletico are keen on the versatile attacker, although the pair are looking to take him on loan for the 2021-22 campaign.

The 27-year-old played the full 90 minutes of Man City's 5-0 win over Norwich City in the Premier League last weekend after being an unused substitute against Tottenham Hotspur.

Bernardo still has four years left to run on his contract with the English champions.
