Bernardo Silva
Manchester United are looking to make more than one major transfer this summer with reports claiming that a £70m offer for Monaco midfielder Bernardo Silva is currently being weighed up by the board at Old Trafford.
The 22-year-old has impressed this season with Monaco currently top of the Ligue 1 table in a three-way fight for the title with second-placed Nice and defending champions Paris Saint-Germain.
United will consider making a £70m offer for Portugal midfielder Silva, with the Lisbon-born international already making 10 appearances for his country – although he missed out on Euro 2016 through injury.
The Portugal international has been a key figure for his side so far this season with four goals and four assists, helping the Principality club to the top of Ligue 1 and Mourinho has been impressed by his compatriot.
Silva came through the Benfica academy and made a name for himself in his native country. He then joined Monaco on loan in the summer of 2014 before the deal was made permanent at the start of the following year.
The United boss thinks Silva could provide the perfect link between United’s midfield and their new front-man Griezmann, who is set to cost £85m.
Silva, who is represented by agent Jorge Mendes, is also said to be on the radar of Mourinho’s former club Real Madrid.
