AC Milan confident Silva will snub Manchester City
Posted Tuesday, June 05, 2012 by Talksport.co.uk
Massimiliano Allegri, the AC Milan coach, has told Manchester City to forget about signing Thiago Silva this summer.
Roberto Mancini is a keen admirer of Silva and was said to be ready to make a move for him in the transfer window.
Mancini is on the lookout for defensive reinforcements and Silva, 27, was on his radar.
But Allegri says the Brazil international will remain at the San Siro.
"I am convinced that Thiago Silva will stay," Allegri said. "He is the strongest defender in Europe and to lose him would be terrible for us.
"But I am convinced that after the Olympics he will return to Milanello. I think club administrator Adriano Galliani has been very clear with respect to what the club's intentions are.
"Milan does not want to see him leave. President Silvio Berlusconi wants to see Milan remain at the highest level and he will do everything to keep Thiago at Milan."
