Juventus are tightening their net as they chase 31‑year‑old Bernardo Silva, who will depart Manchester City next summer. The Italian giants aim to outpace Atletico Madrid and Barcelona in the race for the Portuguese attacking midfielder. Silva’s departure leaves a gap in City’s creative core, while Juventus look to bolster their midfield without breaking the bank.

Meanwhile, Barcelona’s sporting director Deco is expected to watch Chelsea’s 24‑year‑old striker Joao Pedro at the FA Cup final, even though the English club has no intention of selling him. Meanwhile, Coventry City have turned their attention to 35‑year‑old Dutch midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum, whose contract with Al‑Ettifaq expires in the summer, offering a potential deep‑lying midfield boost for their upcoming season.

Inter Milan’s defender Alessandro Bastoni, 27, remains linked with Barcelona but would welcome staying if the Spanish club’s plans fall through. Everton target Burnley’s 22‑year‑old Loum Tchaouna, while Leeds United keep an eye on Wilfried Gnonto, who could leave on loan with an obligation to buy. Bayern Munich watches Atalanta’s Charles De Ketelaere as a backup to Anthony Gordon this.
