Jose Mourinho seeks Real Madrid to sign Bernardo Silva before Barcelona

Summary

Jose Mourinho has requested Real Madrid to move for Bernardo Silva to secure his transfer from Manchester City, potentially ahead of rival clubs Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. With Florentino Perez's presidential election imminent, Mourinho's return to the club is expected soon after 13 years. Silva, who will become a free agent, will delay his decision until after his World Cup commitment concludes. Real Madrid is planning to pursue this deal, which would be financially advantageous as Silva could move for free.
