Chelsea and Manchester City are interested in AC Milan defender Thiago Silva.

Gazzetta dello Sport says City have made enquiries in the past week for the Brazil international and have now been joined by Chelsea in their interest.

Indeed, Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti is willing to put £25 million of his summer transfer budget towards luring Thiago to London.

Milan are in the need to sell if they want to add quality signings to their squad this summer.
