Chelsea will look to add more experience to their squad in the upcoming transfer window to help out new manager Xabi Alonso.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Blues have had a disappointing season, and there is acknowledgement that their team is lacking ready-made players.<\/p>\n

\n

Aston Villa\u2019s triumph in the Europa League final means sixth place in the Premier League may be enough to secure Champions League qualification. <\/p>\n

But Chelsea have been so poor that it is not possible for them even to finish there.<\/p>\n

If Enzo Fernandez leaves, we should be all over Bernardo Silva \ud83e\udd29<\/h3>\n

He’s set to be available on a free transfer this summer!<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Chelsea showing interest in Bernardo Silva<\/h2>\n

One experienced player who is reportedly on Chelsea\u2019s radar is Manchester City playmaker Bernardo Silva.<\/p>\n

According to Marca, Chelsea are one of several top clubs who are interested in signing the attacking midfielder this summer.<\/p>\n

Silva is set to play his final game for City on Sunday, with the Portuguese leaving the club in June when his contract expires.<\/p>\n

In August, Silva turns 32. He is currently City\u2019s captain and a six-time Premier League winner. Simply put, the Portugal international is the kind of player Chelsea are lacking.<\/p>\n

Silva would be an ideal signing for the Blues, especially if Enzo Fernandez leaves Stamford Bridge. The Argentine has been linked to Silva\u2019s current employers and Real Madrid.<\/p>\n

Bernardo Silva\u2019s Premier League stats<\/h2>\n

Silva was not a passenger as he picked up his six Premier League winners\u2019 medals. Without him, City may have not been as successful.<\/p>\n

In total, Silva has made 303 appearances in the English top flight and will have a chance to add to that one more time this Sunday.<\/p>\n

Across those games, the former AS Monaco man has scored 45 goals and provided 50 assists.<\/p>\n

He would have been desperate to say goodbye with another Premier League title to his name, but in the end, Arsenal produced a bit more quality than City, managing to pip them to first place.<\/p>\n

Chelsea have not won the title since 2017, but maybe a signing like Silva can put them in contention again.<\/p>\n
