Fernando Santos believes Bernardo Silva will be a huge help to Real Madrid.

Portuguese midfielder Bernardo Silva officially joined La Liga giants Real Madrid in June. Fernando Santos, who previously coached Bernardo Silva for the Portuguese national team, said he believes the midfielder will make a huge contribution to Real Madrid.

Bernardo Silva, 31, previously played for Premier League giants Manchester City for nine years, making 460 appearances for the "Citizens" and contributing 76 goals.

In addition, Bernardo Silva won six Premier League titles, three FA Cup titles, five League Cup titles, and one Champions League title during his career in Manchester.

Former Portugal coach Fernando Santos said, "Bernardo Silva has extremely high individual ability, and his ability to understand the game is also at a level that very few players can reach. He is one of the best players I have ever worked with in my coaching career, and Real Madrid has really signed a very good top player."

“His technical ability is outstanding, and he is even more exceptional at the tactical level. He has a very high understanding of the game and can accurately judge every situation on the field. Whether it is how to handle the ball when he has it or how to run when he is off the ball, he always knows the right choice.”

Furthermore, Fernando Santos stated, "I've used him as an attacking midfielder and also as a winger. He's been able to deliver outstanding performances in whatever position he's in. He will continue to be at the peak of his career for the next few years."

“To me, he remains one of the best players in the world. Real Madrid made a very good decision to sign Bernardo Silva. I believe he will be a huge asset to the team.”
