AC Milan are chasing a deal for Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva.

The Daily Star says Silva is a target for AC Milan – with the Italians looking to sign the Manchester City playmaker in a £45millon deal.

The Serie A outfit want to take the Portuguese star on loan for two years at a cost of £15m - before then paying a £30m fee to make the move permanent.

That deal could appeal to City, who would at least be sure of recouping the £43m they paid to buy Silva from Monaco in July 2017.

The three-time Premier League winner has become unsettled at the Etihad following the £100m arrival of Jack Grealish from Aston Villa.
