They will look to make deals that will have immediate impacts to improve a squad that, up until recently, was on the outside looking in of the top four and had their Champions League qualification status in serious doubt.
One of the names that has been on-again, off-again linked with Juventus has been Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva . That was in March, and since then Silva has officially announced that he will be leaving City at season’s end. It looks like business could very well be picking up on the Silva front.
According to Matteo Moretto on Fabrizio Romano’s Italian-language YouTube channel, Juventus have essentially made trying to lure Bernardo Silva to Turin as their top priority this summer. They have, again, recently been in contact with Silva’s agent, Jorge Mendes, and are very much open to offering him a sizable contract in hopes that the 31-year-old Portuguese midfielder will call Juventus as his next home. Moretto says that Silva is “perhaps the most attractive of the potential free agents” to clubs this summer, and that Juve’s qualification for the Champions League — they are currently five points clear of Como in fifth place — could go a long way in their attempt to sign Silva.
Silva has been linked with a potential move to other clubs around Europe as well as Major League Soccer in the United States as well as a potential massive pay day in Saudi Arabia.
