"They all sense Bernardo Silva is on his way," Real's social media account posted in the description. In the comments section, former Man City teammate Erling Haaland playfully asked, "Do you agree with this?", tagging Silva.

Silva played alongside Haaland in 174 matches, making Haaland his second-most frequent teammate, trailing only Manuel Akanji (184). They were instrumental during Man City's most successful period and maintained a close relationship off the pitch.

Following coach Jose Mourinho's unveiling the previous day, Real introduced Silva in a private room, with no fans or media attending. The 32-year-old midfielder is expected to play a crucial role in the plans of his compatriot coach.

Silva's playmaking skills, goal-scoring ability, and energetic defensive contributions are qualities that could make him a key player for Mourinho. He was specifically requested by Mourinho, with Real navigating competition from clubs like Barca and Atletico Madrid to secure his signing.

Following the unveiling, Silva spoke to the club's media channels. "Standing in this room, you truly grasp the immense scale of Real. I knew it before, but here, you experience it directly," he stated. "Since childhood, it's been a dream to play for a club like Real. To continue this winning legacy is wonderful, and I am very happy."

Silva also expressed awe at the club's trophy room, which proudly showcases 15 Champions League trophies. "Seeing 15 Champions League titles displayed is overwhelming, but witnessing them firsthand here is even more special. Playing for a club of this caliber isn't for everyone," the former Monaco and Man City midfielder remarked. "I am happy to be here and eager to play at the Bernabeu and meet the fans. Now is the time to work and continue winning titles."

Silva previously played for Benfica and Monaco before joining Man City in 2017. Under Pep Guardiola, he became a key player, scoring 76 goals in 460 appearances and securing 19 titles, including six Premier League trophies and one Champions League.

Silva and Real will commence their new season on 22/8, facing Espanyol in the first round of La Liga.
