Potential destination: Chelsea/Manchester United

Monaco has been one of the standout performers in Europe attacking wise this season and one of the biggest reasons behind that is their chief playmaker, Bernardo Silva. The Portuguese attacker has pulled the strings from an advanced midfield position on a regular basis throughout the season and his excellent performances have made him a wanted man in the summer.

A host of clubs are in the race for the signature of the 22-year-old Portuguese starlet but Manchester United and Chelsea are thought to be the primary two candidates. We have to wait and see who wins the battle for him in the upcoming transfer window.

As per reports, both clubs are willing to pay a big fee in order to land Silva. Both have the financial power but if Manchester United miss out on Champions League qualification, Chelsea will surely have the advantage.
