Tuttosport (via Calciomercato.com) reported earlier in the month that Thiago has never hidden his love for the club and the Rossoneri haven’t closed the door to a possible return, with the defender’s agent having offered him to Milan on a free transfer.
According to Le10Sport however, it is Arsenal who have now made a charge and look favourites to secure the signature of the former Fluminese man.
The outlet claims that Mikel Arteta is desperate to sign a new central defender to make up for the Gunners’ many shortcomings at the back, and the Spaniard has contacted Thiago Silva personally.
David Luiz – a former team-mate of Thiago Silva at PSG – is serving as an intermediary is pushing for the arrival of his compatriot in London.
