Real Madrid have officially confirmed another new signing for La Liga ahead of the new season, and now Bernardo Silva is free to play for the Spanish giants.
The Portuguese midfielder signed for Real Madrid after his Manchester City contract ended this summer, and his move is another significant milestone towards the new season.
Bernardo Silva Registered by La Liga
Real Madrid announced the signing of Silva on Monday, and the midfielder is now officially part of the club’s squad for the upcoming La Liga season.
The Spaniard, 31, joined the Spanish giants as a free agent in June.
The Portuguese international was said to have been in contention with Real Madrid but the Spanish giants managed to sign him.
Bernardo Arrives at Real Madrid
Bernardo has made his move several weeks ago but he had not joined the squad for pre-season.
The midfielder has been given a long layoff after playing for Portugal at the World Cup, in order to give him more time to recuperate before embarking on a new chapter in Madrid.
His late arrival saw his backers have to wait before they could see their latest signing at the club’s training complex.
First Appearance at Valdebebas
Bernardo’s first appearance at Real Madrid’s Valdebebas training centre was Monday morning.
The arrival of his man was a massive boost as José Mourinho is still prepping his team for the new season.
The Portuguese midfielder has plenty of experience and tactical flexibility, which could make him a valuable addition to Madrid’s midfield this season.
Mourinho Gains Another Experienced Midfielder
Bernardo brings Mourinho a new technically gifted midfielder who can be deployed in a number of ways.
He can play in the midfield, and with his ability to control possession, create chances and contribute in attacking areas, it could bring a new dimension to Real Madrid’s midfield.
Now that he has registered, Bernardo can concentrate on getting used to his new environment and developing a friendship with his new teammates.
Real Madrid Continue Summer Squad Planning
The registration of Bernardo Silva is further proof that Real Madrid’s summer recruitment efforts are progressing.
The Portuguese midfielder has been officially registered after his transfer from Manchester City and will be available for La Liga.
The new season is fast approaching and it will now be a matter of when Mourinho will call up Bernardo for his Real Madrid debut and how the veteran midfielder will fit in with the club’s plans.
