AC Milan chief Leonardo is aiming to bring PSG defender Thiago Silva back to the San Siro.

Leonardo, who signed Thiago Silva for PSG when running the club at the time, now wants to sign the Brazil international again.

Corriere dello Sport says the pair are already in contact, though Leonardo has made it clear that Thiago Silva must accept a cut on his current €12m salary to make the move.

A January move is being considered and also has the support of Milan coach Rino Gattuso.

Should PSG agree to sell, they're expected to move for West Ham defender Issa Diop as a replacement.
