Inter Miami plot ambitious move for Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva

Inter Miami plot ambitious move for Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva Inter Miami are plotting a sensational move for Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva. According to TyC Sports , the American outfit are hoping to snap him up on a free transfer this summer but will face serious competition from clubs across Europe. Silva’s contract with City runs out at the end of the season, and there’s a strong possibility that he could be heading for the exit.

The 31-year-old has been vocal about his desire to explore new adventures abroad, so the chances of extending his stay at the Etihad Stadium are slim. The Portuguese midfielder has yet to clarify where his future lies, but a number of clubs are already lining up to secure his signature this summer, and Miami are one of them. The Americans are looking to provide Lionel Messi with more firepower and are looking to Europe to bring in more experienced players.

While Silva checks that box, luring him away from Europe may be a different challenge altogether. Miami have endured a rough start to their Major League Soccer (MLS) Cup title defence, winning three of their opening five games (D1, L1). Javier Mascherano’s side were also eliminated from the CONCACAF Champions Cup last 16 by Nashville.

Both sides played out a goalless draw in the first leg, before rounding up the tie with a 1-1 draw at Chase Stadium, sending Nashville through on away goals. Miami responded to that setback with a 3-2 victory away to New York City, with Messi on the score sheet. They now want to bring in Silva to lift some of the weight off Messi’s shoulders.
