Atletico Madrid has entered strongly into the race to sign Portuguese player Bernardo Silva from Manchester City, as part of the club's plan to strengthen its squad in preparation for the next season and to compensate for the anticipated departure of Frenchman Antoine Griezmann to the American league.

The Spanish newspaper "Marca" reported that Atletico Madrid's management is working on signing Bernardo Silva, considering him one of the most prominent names capable of providing the team with a significant technical boost, in addition to his experience and leadership qualities on the field.

The Portuguese player is preparing to end his journey with Manchester City after successful years during which he won many titles under the leadership of Pep Guardiola, making him one of the most prominent names available for free in the summer transfer market.

The report indicated that Atletico Madrid is facing strong competition for the deal, as clubs like Barcelona, Milan, Juventus, and Chelsea are interested in signing the player, who is highly valued in the European market.

Bernardo Silva is considered one of the most versatile players offensively, as he can play on both wings and in the midfield, in addition to his ability to perform the role of a deep-lying forward.

Atletico Madrid's management believes that the player possesses the right qualities to lead the team after Griezmann's departure, particularly due to his extensive experience in major tournaments and his ability to make a difference in crucial matches.

Bernardo Silva played 459 matches for Manchester City, during which he scored 77 goals and provided 76 assists, as his journey with the English club nears its end this summer.
