Bernardo Silva joins Real Madrid

Portuguese midfielder Bernardo Silva has officially joined Real Madrid following his departure from Manchester City. During his first day of training, the 31-year-old expressed his pride in joining the club, stating that it was ‘impossible to refuse’ when Real Madrid contacted him.

Analysts suggest that Silva’s role at the club may mirror that of Luka Modric, particularly regarding his ability to organize play with high passing accuracy. Experts note that even at his age, Silva maintains a passing success rate exceeding 90 percent.

To manage his physical workload, the coaching staff is expected to utilize him primarily in the midfield rather than the attack. This tactical positioning aims to leverage his technical mastery and playmaking abilities, similar to his previous role under Pep Guardiola.
