According to the source, Bernardo Silva remains a subject of discussion within the club, especially with his contract nearing its end. Gvardiol’s situation is different, as he is considered one of the most promising young defenders in Europe despite struggling with injuries this season.
Díaz indicated that some intermediaries have conveyed the players’ desire for a new challenge, suggesting Real Madrid as a potential destination should the Spanish club decide to make an official move.
Gvardiol Remains an Option Despite Financial Complexities
Reports confirm that Gvardiol’s situation is financially complex, as Manchester City is expected to demand a fee exceeding €70 million, making the deal dependent on several factors, most notably the player’s future with the English club and the club’s willingness to let him leave.
Nevertheless, Gvardiol’s name has remained on Real Madrid’s shortlist for some time, as the club views him as a long-term project capable of leading the defense for years to come.
Bernardo Silva and a Different Situation
As for Bernardo Silva, his situation appears different. Real Madrid’s management is considering signing him if suitable financial terms become available, especially since his contract is nearing its end, which could give the club more flexibility in negotiations.
Despite the ongoing behind-the-scenes activity, Real Madrid’s management prefers to postpone any decisive decisions until after the upcoming presidential elections, as the club is currently focused on its administrative restructuring.
However, sources confirm that work is ongoing within the club to evaluate several potential deals in anticipation of launching a new project that could reshape the team in the coming seasons as part of a plan aimed at maintaining domestic and European dominance.
