Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva could leave the club in the summer, with Calciomercato claiming that the midfielder is "dreaming" of a move to Real Madrid.
The 27-year-old's deal at the Etihad expires in 2025, with claims that the Portugal international wanted to leave the club last summer in search of different experiences.
Speaking on the situation back in December, Pep Guardiola said: "He [Bernardo Silva] wants to experience other countries, other leagues, other challenges for himself. It is normal, understandable. It didn't happen, thank god. We can enjoy him longer."
One side linked with a move last year was Atletico Madrid, but while that move didn't happen, another Madrid club may beckon as the report adds that Silva has always wanted to play for Los Blancos.
Real are on the brink of a potential midfield change, with Toni Kroos and Luka Modric both in their early-to-mid 30s and approaching the last few years of their contracts at the Bernabeu.
The signing of 18-year-old Eduardo Camavinga suggested a look to the future in that department, while Silva could offer something different in the peak of his career.
The playmaker could make a big impact if he were to switch, especially if he carries over his early season form of seven goal involvements in 14 Premier League games for City.

"Bernardo Silva is dreaming of Real Madrid move". It makes sense after all: he must be wishing to join his former teammate Mbappé in Real Madrid.

Bernardo Silva has more distance covered than N’golo Kante, more pass completions than Jorginho and a better shooting Success than Salah. He is one of the most complete midfielder in the world.
