"AC Milan want Thiago Silva to return to the club in the winter transfer window, sources told ESPN Brasil on Friday. Silva, 41, became a free agent this week after terminating his contract with Fluminense by mutual consent despite having six months left on his deal. The veteran defender returned to the Rio de Janeiro club in May last year after leaving Chelsea and was a regular starter at Fluminense."
"Silva has no plans to retire and recently said he has not given up hope of playing for Brazil at next year's World Cup despite not playing for the national team since 2022. The former Brazil captain is expected to make a decision soon regarding his future. He is keen to return to Europe to be closer to his family and a move back to England would be his preferred choice considering his family are based in London."
"Silva is also considering a return to AC Milan, where he is highly regarded. The former Brazil captain won one league title in three seasons with the Rossoneri before signing for Paris Saint-Germain in 2012."

Silva does not plan to retire and still hopes to play for Brazil at next year's World Cup despite last appearing for the national team in 2022. He prefers a return to Europe, ideally England, to be closer to his family in London, where his two sons are in Chelsea's youth system. AC Milan are seeking defensive reinforcements in the winter window and have interest in Silva, and FC Porto have also inquired.
