Bernardo Silva says he is open to extending his stay at Manchester City.<\/p>\n
The Portugal midfielder, 24, is reportedly a \u00a370million target for Real Madrid this summer.<\/p>\n
He has caught Real’s attention after scoring seven goals and registering six assists in the first half of the season for the reigning Premier League champions.<\/p>\n
Silva, who joined City \u00a343.5million from Monaco 18 months ago, said: \u201cI’m OK right now, I still have three-and-a-half years left.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don’t know what will happen but we will see. I’m happy at City and if they want to renegotiate my contract then of course I’m open to doing that.<\/p>\n
“I’m very happy here at Man City – not only with the staff but I look around at my teammates and it is a young team that can achieve fantastic things.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo look at the future and think that if we stay together we can do special things, I am very happy here and want to stay.”<\/p>\n
Real view Silva as a successor to Ballon d\u2019Or winner Luka Modric, who turns 34 in September.<\/p>\n
Though he began his career as a winger, Silva has played in a deeper role for City, often featuring as one of two central midfielders playing ahead of holding player Fernandinho.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
