Agent: 'Thiago Silva too expensive for AC Milan'

Thiago Silva's agent has claimed that the Paris Saint-Germain defender is too expensive for AC Milan to have a chance of re-signing him this summer.

The Brazilian centre-back left San Siro to join PSG in 2012, and despite indicating that the 30-year-old would be open to returning to Milan in the future, Paulo Tonietto has played down rumours linking Silva with his former employers.

"One day Thiago could return to Fluminense as well as Milan, and he would like to, but at the moment there is not the slightest chance that he could change club," Tonietto told MilanNews.it.

"At the moment he costs too much, he has a contract until 2018 and a very high salary. Milan couldn't pay him because they have a policy about their wages.

"Thiago Silva is doing very well at PSG and there's no chance of him changing clubs, he's too expensive for Milan."

Reports have suggested that Milan are also considering a move for Borussia Dortmund midfielder Ilkay Gundogan.
