Transfer ALERT! Real Madrid to rival Manchester United and Manchester City in race for Monaco star Bernardo Silva
Monaco star Bernardo Silva is wanted by some of Europe's top clubs this summer
Real Madrid have set their sights on Manchester City and Manchester United target Bernardo Silva.
The two Premier League clubs are tracking the Monaco man closely and it has been reported that United in fact hold a first refusal option on him.
That means should any club make a bid for the 22-year-old midfielder, United would be alerted and could then sign him by matching the offer.
And, according to reports in France, that is exactly what will happen this summer with Madrid preparing a formal approach for the Portugal international.
It has been suggested that Madrid see Silva as a like-for-like replacement for James Rodriguez, who could leave at the end of the season.
And, if he is sold, the Bernabeu club will use the money to fund their move for Silva, who has impressed during his three seasons in Monaco's first team.
But the Ligue 1 club rate him very highly and are unlikely to consider selling him for any less than £44million when the window opens.
Should Madrid make that offer, it will then be down to United to match it, while the price tag is unlikely to put off City either.
Then it would be down to Silva to choose his next destination, although he may decide to stay put in France.
