‘He will even overshadow Icardi’ - Turkish expert claims Bernardo Silva’s signing will be the best after Osimhen

The Portuguese star could be leaving Man City this summer after a remarkable journey at the club.

The midfielder joined the Citizens in 2017 and has won several trophies. However, this season, he has struggled with his performance.

With his future still undecided, a Turkish pundit believes signing the Portuguese midfielder would be Galatasaray's most significant transfer in recent memory.

According to Habersarikirmizi.com, Ece stated on the Vole YouTube channel that Silva would have a positive influence under head coach Okan Buruk.

"Gabriel Sara is being played in both Granit Xhaka and Bernardo Silva’s area by Okan Buruk,” Ece said. 

"If Bernardo Silva comes to Galatasaray, he will be the new Dries Mertens. He will be the best transfer Galatasaray has made since Victor Osimhen in the last five years. He will even overshadow Icardi.”

Bernardo’s versatility and work ethic could significantly boost Galatasaray's midfield and attacking capabilities with his extensive experience in top-tier European football, according to Ece.

The Turkish giants are aiming to bolster their squad for upcoming domestic and European competitions, and acquiring a player of Silva's calibre would be another significant move in that direction.
