AC Milan: 'Wolverhampton Wanderers, Galatasaray have asked about Andre Silva'

AC Milan sporting director Massimo Mirabelli says that Wolverhampton Wanderers and Galatasaray have asked about the availability of forward Andre Silva.

AC Milan sporting director Massimo Mirabelli has revealed that both Wolverhampton Wanderers and Galatasaray are interested in signing Andre Silva.

Milan spent €38m to sign Silva on a five-year contract from Porto last summer, but the Portugal international has struggled to make an impact in Serie A.

Wolves have been frequently linked with an approach for the 22-year-old, and although Mirabelli has confirmed the interest from the Premier League side, the Italian giants will bide their time before making a decision on the attacker's future.

Mirabelli told Milan TV: "We spent a lot of money for 22 year-old Andre Silva. [Gennaro] Gattuso will test him during the training camp and then we will decide. If it does not work, we will sell or loan him.

"Clubs must remember that we paid €38m (£34m) for him. There are two clubs currently in contact with us: Wolverhampton and Galatasaray. Both show interest in Andre Silva, but we have asked for time."

Silva scored a total of 10 goals in 40 appearances last season.
