Bernardo Silva reportedly wants to leave Manchester City this summer, with Atletico Madrid and Barcelona both interested in the midfielder.

Bernardo Silva is reportedly keen to secure a move away from Manchester City during the upcoming summer transfer window.

The Portugal international played a prominent role as Pep Guardiola's side finished runners-up to Chelsea in the Champions League, but he endured a frustrating Premier League season by his standards.

Silva chipped in with two goals and six assists in the top flight last season, but he started just 24 of the Citizens' 38 Premier League games, and the champions are supposedly open to a sale.

A swap deal with Atletico Madrid involving Saul Niguez has been mooted, and journalist Duncan Castles now claims that Silva is indeed hoping to end his stint at the Etihad this summer.

Castles states that Barcelona are interested as well as Atletico, and potential part-exchange deals involving the likes of Joao Cancelo, Sergi Roberto and Ousmane Dembele could also be in the offing.

Silva has won three Premier League titles, one FA Cup and four EFL Cups since arriving at Man City from Monaco in 2017, and he is in contention to start for Portugal in their Euro 2020 opener with Hungary on Tuesday.
