During these tournaments, Silva made significant contributions with seven goals and eight assists, establishing himself as a vital part of Pep Guardiola's squad at the Etihad Stadium. However, it is widely known that the Portuguese international is eager to embrace a new challenge once City receives a suitable offer for his services.
As Silva still has two years remaining on his contract, City may have to consider a compromise soon. However, they have yet to receive a bid that meets their valuation, estimated to be around £75 million. Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain have shown the most interest in Silva, although their current financial situations do not allow them to complete the transfer.
According to Marca, Silva is now reportedly prepared to accept an offer from the Saudi Pro League. Although the specific club has not been disclosed, Al-Ittihad, Al-Nassr, Al-Hilal, and Al Ahli are the only teams capable of affording Silva due to the support of the Public Investment Fund (PIF).
The report suggests that Silva is ready to "leave Europe for the Saudi elite" after receiving a substantial offer that presents an opportunity for a new direction in his career.
