Neither Wirtz nor Musiala: Florentino Has Found His New Engine for Real Madrid

The player Real Madrid so desperately needs has finally been found by Florentino Pérez

The transfer market is closed, but information and rumors continue to increase, something that Florentino Pérez and José Ángel Sánchez are aware of.

Among all the positions that need reinforcement for the next season, the midfield is crucial for Real Madrid. Even with the players they have in this position, Kroos's retirement left a gap that has been difficult to fill. This has led Real Madrid to show interest in talents like Florian Wirtz or Jamal Musiala.

However, everything points to Florentino Pérez finally finding the ideal player for Real Madrid. Given his current situation at Manchester City, Bernardo Silva is considered a very attractive player for Real Madrid. Being close to the end of his contract and having extensive experience, his signing would solve many issues.

Although Bernardo's age is slightly outside the profile Real Madrid is looking for, Florentino hasn't seen any problems with this. Bernardo's arrival would provide an immediate solution to several of the problems Real Madrid has faced this season.

Florentino Pérez's Discovery

Playing his eighth season with Manchester City, Bernardo Silva is a fully established player. Despite the team's poor moment, Bernardo has managed to shine throughout the 3,094 minutes (3.094) he has played this season. Despite being 30 years old, Bernardo has shown that he still has a few seasons left at the highest level.

Given his quality and his contract that ends in 2026, Florentino Pérez has seen the perfect opportunity to carry out his signing. While Bernardo has been a key player for Manchester City, the English club has the firm intention of completely renewing its squad.

Potentially left without space within City, Real Madrid emerges as a solid option to continue playing at the highest level. Although Bernardo doesn't have the age and expectations of Wirtz and Musiala, he greatly compensates for this with his experience.

Real Madrid Is Clear

Known for always having a dominant midfield, Real Madrid is clear about its need to consolidate this position again. The signing of Bernardo would be of great help so that, looking to the future, the player can train the younger stars.
