Conterio: Ibrahimovic pushed for Thiago Silva but even Allegri said no - the background
"Zlatan Ibrahimovic was the only member of AC Milan's management who pushed for the return of Thiago Silva, according to a report. Last week, there were plenty of rumours regarding the future of Thiago Silva, with some even suggesting that Massimiliano Allegri and Ibrahimovic were both keen on the idea. However, with no progress made, the Brazilian was eventually announced by Porto."
"While multiple reports suggested that Allegri wanted to reunite with the Brazilian, it was actually only Ibrahimovic who pushed for it. The Swede was the first to bring up Thiago Silva as an option and continued to pitch him to the management. However, as Conterio puts it, 'the entire management' said no to the idea and not even Allegri was in favour of the move."
Plenty of rumours circulated about Thiago Silva's future, with suggestions that Massimiliano Allegri and Zlatan Ibrahimovic supported his return to AC Milan. No progress occurred and Thiago Silva signed with Porto. Milan began evaluating younger defensive options such as Federico Gatti rather than an older player. Ibrahimovic initiated and repeatedly promoted the idea of bringing back Thiago Silva to the club. The club's management collectively rejected the proposal, and Allegri was not in favour. The lack of internal support explains why negotiations stalled and why Porto's move became inevitable before the announcement.
