The Portuguese playmaker would slot straight into the No.10 role, becoming the creative hub of the team and reducing the need for a more attack-minded mezzala.
In this setup, Juventus would rely on a balanced double pivot behind him, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
Manuel Locatelli looks the natural fit as the deeper midfielder, while Khéphren Thuram would need to adapt his game to offer more positional discipline. Out wide, one flank would remain built around Kenan Yıldız, while the opposite side may prioritise work rate, potentially favouring Weston McKennie over Francisco Conceição.

The clearest player to make way would be Teun Koopmeiners, whose hybrid midfield role becomes less relevant with a fixed playmaker in place.
Further forward, Jonathan David could see his importance reduced, while players like Fabio Miretti and Vasilije Adžić would likely be pushed towards exits to find regular playing time.
Overall, Bernardo Silva’s arrival would not just add quality but redefine roles across the squad, forcing Juventus into a more structured and technically driven system.
