Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday ahead of Portugal’s round of 16 World Cup clash against Croatia (Friday, 1pm), Bernardo Silva did not want to linger on his transfer to Real Madrid. While admitting he is “happy” to join the Merengues, the midfielder stressed that his full focus remains on his national team for now.
The 30 June 2026 press conference came just days before the crucial knockout match. Silva’s move to the Spanish giants has been widely anticipated, but the Portuguese star made it clear that club matters will not distract him from his World Cup duties.
