Portugal midfielder Bernardo Silva has officially joined Real Madrid on a two-year contract, the الإسبانية club confirmed on الأربعاء. The 31-year-old midfielder arrives at the Santiago Bernabeu following the expiration of his contract with Manchester City, concluding a highly successful nine-year tenure in the Premier League.
“Real Madrid C.F. and Bernardo Silva have reached an agreement for him to become a Real Madrid player for the next two seasons, until June 30, 2028,” the club announced in its official statement.
Silva’s arrival marks a significant addition for Madrid, as he brings experience and a decorated career. Since his transfer from Monaco to Manchester City in 2017, Silva has amassed 459 appearances and netted 76 goals for the الإنجليزية club. Throughout this period, he secured 20 major trophies, including six Premier League titles and the UEFA Champions League during City’s historic treble-winning season in 2023.
Before his time in England, Silva played a key role in Monaco’s 2017 Ligue 1 title victory, sharing the pitch with current Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé. Internationally, he has earned 109 caps for Portugal and is currently participating in his third FIFA World Cup. He is expected to feature in Portugal’s Group K opener against DR Congo in Houston later on الأربعاء.
Real Madrid Looks to Rebuild
The الإسبانية giants are entering a phase of reconstruction after a season that saw them finish second in La Liga and suffer elimination in the Champions League quarter-finals. With the appointment of new leadership at the club, Real Madrid aims to strengthen its squad, and the signing of Bernardo Silva is a clear step toward revitalizing the team’s competitive edge.
