Bernardo Silva commits to Real Madrid on a two-year contract

n n

Portugal midfielder Bernardo Silva has signed a two-year deal with Real Madrid, the La Liga giants announced Wednesday.

n

Silva had left Manchester City after nine trophy-laden years when the 31-year-old’s contract expired at the end of last season.

n

His contract with Real Madrid runs until June 30, 2028.

n

Silva made 459 appearances for City in total, scoring 76 goals, since joining from Monaco in 2017.

n

He has won 15 major trophies with the club, including four successive Premier League titles from 2021-2024, the treble featuring the Champions League in 2023 and all four domestic trophies in the 2018/19 season.

n

After failing to win major trophies for two consecutive seasons, newly re-elected Madrid president Florentino Perez appointed Jose Mourinho as coach earlier in June.

n

On Monday, Madrid announced the signing of Spanish left-back Marc Cucurella from Chelsea for a reported fee of 55 million euros ($63.8 million).

n

Los Blancos are set to sign Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate at the end of his contract at Anfield and have also been linked with Inter Milan’s Denzel Dumfries.
