AC Milan to refuse any bids for Thiago Silva

AC Milan vice-president Adriano Gallaini has reiterated the club's stance that Thiago Silva is not for sale.

The 27-year-old has been strongly linked with a switch to Manchester City, along with Milan teammate Zlatan Ibrahimovic. However, manager Massimiliano Allegri is adamant that the duo will stay with the Serie A side.

"We will do all that is possible and impossible to resist temptation," Galliani told Gazzetta dello Sport. "Thiago Silva is happy to remain in Milan. He has a contract until 2016."

Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona are also believed to be interested in the sought-after defender.
