Tacchinardi on Bernardo Silva joining Juventus: "He’s a top-class player. Spalletti only insists on signings like this"

Champions League

FC Porto

Manchester City

Serie A

Sassuolo

Juventus

<p><span>You need ideas too, of course, but </span><b><strong>Bernardo Silva</strong></b><span> is in a league of his own. You can see it – just as Modric was this year against Milan – he’s in a league of his own. He is when he has the ball; it never seems to faze him, he always makes the right move, and he’s always at ease on the pitch.</span></p>

BERNARDO SILVA: A TOP-CLASS PLAYER

<p><span>"If Bernardo Silva joins Juventus, we certainly won’t be saying at the end of November, ‘Well, he’s still settling in’, because good players are good wherever they play."</span></p>

WITH HIM, YOU’LL NEVER HEAR PEOPLE SAY, ‘OH, BUT HE NEEDS TO SETTLE IN’

<p><span>"He's a good player, and that's why I hope Juventus go out and focus solely on top-class players"</span></p>
