Real Madrid offered surprise chance to sign Manchester City midfielder

Silva has also been offered to Barcelona, as he seeks out his next move once his Man City spell comes to an end. He’s also been linked with Juventus among other clubs, but the prospect of playing in Spain is one that appeals to him more than most.

Real Madrid not in for Silva at this stage

Despite Mendes’ offer, Real Madrid have made it clear that Silva is one someone they are considering at this moment in time. They appreciate him as a footballer, but that does not transpire into genuine interest in signing him, which means that a move to Barcelona is much more likely at this stage.

It will be interesting to see who Real Madrid sign as their new midfielder, but it certainly won’t be Silva. His profile is not one that is needed in the current first team squad, so it makes sense that he is not on the agenda.
