Bernardo Silva has been a key player for Manchester City over the last eight years. However, the club is not sentimental when it comes to keeping its loyal servants.
Kevin De Bruyne was let go at the end of last season when his contract expired, and he went on to join Napoli.
Silva could also be set for a move to Serie A, but there is also interest from one of his former clubs.
The Spanish outlet AS has reported that Juventus and Benfica are interested in Silva.
Where should Bernardo Silva go?
Silva is now 31, but remains a key player for City, who he captains. If he feels he still wants to compete at the highest level, then Juventus would be his priority.

The midfielder is also still a Portugal international, but following the World Cup next summer, his priorities may change.
He has amassed 103 caps for his country, so the tournament in North America in 2026 could be his swansong for Portugal.
Following the World Cup, Silva may not have the motivation to play in one of Europe's top five leagues.
Therefore, a return to Benfica would make sense for Silva. He only made three appearances for the side before being transferred to AS Monaco.
Silva will feel he has unfinished business at Benfica, which is also the team he supports.
