Thiago Silva pushing hard for a return to Milan through his agent (Tuttosport)

Thiago Silva is pushing hard for a return to AC Milan through his agent, a report claims, and a glimmer of hope has appeared regarding a deal.

Tuttosport reported on Sunday that although Milan will proceed with a youth project this summer based around signing young players with high potential, there could also be room for experienced players to add leadership.

The paper claimed that Thiago Silva could be a potential option as he has instructed his agent to find him a new club, with Milan and Fluminese given preference.
