AC Milan can cross Antonio Silva’s name off their list of targets, if indeed he was ever on there at all.
Milan seemed to be closing in on signing Silva as per La Gazzetta dello Sport, until Benfica put up a wall amid hopes of convincing him to sign a contract extension. So, the management turned to Mario Gila of Lazio to strengthen the back line, signing him for around €30m.

Yesterday, the news emerged from multiple sources that Silva had rejected a renewal offer from the Portuguese club and that he was now exploring an exit, which had piqued the interest of the Rossoneri again.
However, Fabrizio Romano is now reporting the following: “Bournemouth are closing in on Antonio Silva deal, here we go soon!
“Agreement on personal terms with the centre back and very close also club to club with Benfica. Nothing will be signed this week as Benfica will only allow exit to AFCB later on.”
Romano (via Reddit) also states that Silva ‘was never a Milan target despite recent reports’. A potential deal was not on the table at any moment, so he is now expected to join Bournemouth and start a new adventure there under Marco Rose, who replaced Andoni Iraola.




They’ll make a bid for Scalvini, or it will be a swap for Jashari/ricci + cash
No they will not
Inacio are real target ACM from ruben amorim request
I don’t think he’s his request. I mean benched CB and not cheap
He is great player and 25mil is nothing but ….
Silva stopped being the priority when Milan Run out of budget same goes for anyone.
It seems we do run out bc no talks Alajbegovic is joining Atalanta we aren’t do anything so they still didn’t learn top target second third no the fourth target with not even willing to try and in pre season idrissi and ossola are not even the best players to brought. Why did they kicked Lontari and Scotti who were the best players in futuro last season?
Inacio, Stones, van Dijk, Min-jae Kim, *Kimpembe;
Wtf kimbembe wtf
Revolt let me name some washed up players
Kim Min Jae?
How about Koulibaly De Vrij Romagnoli Rugani Alaba?
Presnel was merely a suggestion for a sub because he is a free agent, that’s why I put “*”. Stones can’t fit in a starting lineup? Are you nu*s, man? Amorim is asking for fast(er) defenders, I’ll grant you that but don’t exaggerate, please. Inacio can play in the middle as well, there have been so much articles on that subject.
Van Dijk isn’t leaving.
Stones slow and can’t fit in starting lineup and
Inacio is LCB so 40m sub?
Please name Your Pick if your picks are retire players please don’t recommend anyone
Since milan sign Gila, forget about silva bro… Milan never offering him. This is just media bluff
