The Rossoneri summer transfer window ended with the arrival of David Odogu, a very young German defender, a last-minute alternative to more experienced targets like Manuel Akanji, who chose Inter, and Joe Gomez, who stayed at Liverpool.
Looking ahead to the January transfer window, with a back three and only two substitutes, one of whom is inexperienced, the Rossoneri management is considering strengthening the squad with an experienced player. Not just any experienced player, but Thiago Silva, as relayed via those at Milan News.
The idea of a sensational return to Milanello at 41 has been circulating for some time. At the end of December, once the Brazilian league season concludes, Thiago will be free from Fluminense. Repubblica writes this morning:
"Milan speeds up for Thiago Silva."
There are many points of connection: the mutual affection that has never faded, a strong relationship with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Allegri, the desire to return to Europe to be closer to his family in London, and to get back on the radar of top football for a potential World Cup call-up, which would be remarkable. The plan would be a six-month contract to leverage his immense experience in a second half of the season that will be crucial for the Rossoneri.
