The Portugal head coach insists that the 31-year-old has the attributes to succeed at the highest level of European football.
Speaking after Portugal’s 2-1 friendly win over Chile on Saturday, Martinez was asked about the long-standing transfer links between Silva and a move to LaLiga.
"I think Bernardo Silva is such a spectacular player that he fits into every dressing room in world football. I don't think a player like that appears out of nowhere, but he's a player who can adapt to any system and any style, and improve what's around him."
Silva, who has frequently been linked with a departure from City, continues to attract interest as his contract situation develops, while Portugal now prepare to face Nigeria in their final warm-up match before the World Cup in the United States.
