Agent reveals Real Madrid in AC Milan talks for €25M Thiago Silva

The agent of AC Milan defender Thiago Silva admits Real Madrid are pressing to sign the Brazil international. Rossoneri chief Adriano Galliani insisted earlier this week that none of their senior players would be allowed to leave this summer.

But Silva's agent, Paulo Tonietto, told globoesporte.com: "First of all, Thiago Silva is very happy at Milan.

"Barcelona? Only speculation, but there is interest from Real Madrid, who is dealing directly with Milan. A Madrid manager came to ask about the situation of Thiago, and I told him that apart from being flattered by the interest of a team like Real, he has a contract until 2013 and is at ease in Italy."

Tonietto says €25 million would be enough for Milan to sell the defender.

He added, "I do not know if Milan will accept, it does not depend on me or Thiago. It's a deal that is developing between the two presidents."
