MANCHESTER CITY

David Silva: AC Milan and Inter eye Spaniard as Manchester City contract talks stagnate

The former-Valencia player's current contract in Manchester ends in 2019, and the two Milan clubs are vying to capitalise on stalling negotiations.

AC Milan and Inter are keeping a close eye on the future of David Silva.

Silva and Manchester City contract talks stagnate

The Spanish international is in talks with Manchester City with a view to extending his contract beyond 2019, when it is currently set to expire. Yet the negotiations, which have been ongoing for several months, are close to collapse.

David Silva is currently in his eighth season at the Etihad Stadium, where he arrived from Valencia for €33 million. Despite creeping in to his thirties, the man from the Canaries continues to be a key player for Pep Guardiola, and Julen Lopetegui’s Spanish national team.

AC Milan and Inter eye Silva

Interest from both Milan-based clubs has filtered out from Italy. Both are going through a phase of regeneration and see 31-year-old Silva as the ideal figure to lead that change. Manchester City are not willing to listen to offers at the moment, but that could change if his contract negotiations continue to stagnate.
