Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva a target for Al Hilal

Manchester City attacking midfielder Bernardo Silva is a target for Saudi Pro-League side Al Hilal.
Silva’s contract with City runs to 2025 and, while the club are keen for him to sign an extension, he has a number of offers on the table.
Paris St-Germain are also interested in the 28-year-old, as are Barcelona, who have been linked with the Portuguese for the past two summers.
Barcelona have already agreed to sign his club captain Ilkay Gundogan.
However, both clubs could be eclipsed by the salaries on offer in Saudi Arabia.
Riyadh-based Al Hilal, who are in the process of signing Ruben Neves from Wolves, are pushing hard to persuade Silva to join.
The Portuguese international has been involved in all five Premier League title successes at City under Pep Guardiola after joining the club in 2017.
He helped the club win the Treble of Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup last season.
A number of high-profile players have already moved to Saudi Arabian clubs.
Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo joined Al Nassr in January.
France midfielder N’Gola Kante has also agreed to join the country’s league champions Al-Ittihad after the end of his contract at Chelsea, while compatriot Karim Benzema has also signed for the same side. Former Liverpool and Newcastle manager Rafael Benitez is returning to management after being named Celta Vigo boss.
The 63-year-old Spaniard has been out of the game since being sacked by Everton in January 2022.
Benitez, who also had a spell as interim boss at Chelsea, has agreed a three-year-deal at the La Liga club.
He replaces Carlos Carvalhal, who left at the end of the season after helping Celta avoid relegation.
Celta finished three points above the drop zone in 13th place, having beaten champions Barcelona on the final day to guarantee safety.
The club said former Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Napoli manager Benitez “has extensive experience on the bench with a career that is difficult to match”.
Benitez won the 2005 Champions League and 2006 FA Cup with Liverpool and the 2013 Europa League during his interim spell at Chelsea. He also guided Newcastle to promotion from the Championship.
