As the January transfer window approaches, AC Milan are turning their attention to a growing need at the back. AC Milan are targeting veteran defender Thiago Silva. With Matteo Gabbia, Fikayo Tomori and Strahinja Pavlovic forming a solid core, and Koni De Winter acting as the primary backup, the Rossoneri still find themselves one defender short. Youngster David Odogu has barely featured, with only a few Coppa Italia minutes to his name. Odogu is not yet considered ready for a consistent first-team role by head coach Massimiliano Allegri.<\/p>
That shortage has pushed Milan’s management toward a surprising solution which is to bring Thiago Silva back to San Siro. According to reports from Italy and Brazil, internal discussions at Casa Milan have been ongoing for weeks regarding a possible return for the 41-year-old centre-back. Silva is currently at Fluminense and remains under contract until June 2026. Notably, Silva is said to be open to one final European chapter. Crucially for Milan, his salary would not significantly strain the club’s budget, making the move financially feasible.<\/p>
