Fluminense defender Thiago Silva is preparing to leave for Europe next month.

AC Milan and Inter are chasing the Brazil international, who is also on the shopping list of Chelsea boss Luiz Felipe Scolari.

Thiago Silva said: "I'm thinking about the future calmly. I cannot stay all my life at one club and I can say that I can hardly see myself staying at Fluminense next season.

"I have a small child and I have to think of our future."
