"Allegri has asked for another centre-back in addition to a striker in January, and he believes that the Brazilian would be 'a perfect fit'. As a reminder, the former Chelsea man has decided to leave Fluminense as a free agent after his deal ended. He seems to be set on a return to Europe, both to play in a more competitive league and to be closer to his family."
"Allegri is therefore in favour of a six-month contract for the 41-year-old, which would bring another leader to the club, capable of maintaining everyone's concentration and enhancing the team's technical level. He can also cover all three positions, which helps. Thiago is looking for a solution that will allow him to be in top form for the World Cup next summer. He wants to be there with Carlo Ancelotti's Brazil, and Milan could use someone with his motivation."
De Winter struggled to contain Rasmus Hojlund in Riyadh, reinforcing the need for a new central defender capable of covering injuries and rotation. Allegri has prioritized signing a centre-back alongside a striker in January and views Thiago Silva as a strong short-term option. Thiago left Fluminense as a free agent and aims to return to Europe to play at a higher level and be nearer his family. Allegri favors a six-month contract to add leadership and positional flexibility. Thiago seeks match fitness ahead of the World Cup, while other clubs, including Premier League teams and Porto, show interest. Management may reconsider targets after Allegri's insistence on experience.
