Real Madrid Sign Free Agent Silva After Man City Exit

The Portugal midfielder leaves Manchester City after 460 appearances and 76 goals, bringing experience and trophy pedigree to Real Madrid’s midfield.

  • On Wednesday, Real Madrid confirmed the signing of Portuguese midfielder Bernardo Silva on a two-year contract, keeping him at the Santiago Bernabeu until June 30, 2028.
  • Silva made 460 appearances during a nine-year stint at Manchester City, winning six Premier League titles, three FA Cups, five League Cups, and the Champions League before departing.
  • Known for his tactical versatility, Silva was a cornerstone of City's side under Pep Guardiola and will bring experience to Madrid's midfield under manager Jose Mourinho.
  • Madrid is looking to strengthen after a disappointing 2025-26 season, recently signing Spanish left back Marc Cucurella from Chelsea and targeting defenders Ibrahima Konate and Denzel Dumfries.
  • The Portugal international finalized the move while competing at the FIFA World Cup, having made 109 appearances for his country and won two Nations League titles.
