The 2-0 loss to Napoli in the Supercoppa Italiana semi-final on Thursday night highlighted that Milan’s summer signings have not produced the anticipated outcomes. There have been a number of costly misfires thus far: Koni De Winter had a particularly poor showing, with Hojlund breezing past him in pivotal moments. The team’s struggle with a back three, coupled with the lack of reserves performing at a competitive level, presents a significant problem. Could Milan make a play for Thiago Silva?

ESPN has specifically reaffirmed that Allegri is eager to bring the 41-year-old center-back back to San Siro. He has recently departed from Fluminense and is free to return to Europe if he chooses. Allegri, along with potentially Zlatan Ibrahimovic, might be interested in taking a chance on Thiago Silva, reconsidering a deal that had previously seemed impractical. Considering Milan hadn’t intended to make additional investments in the defensive sector during this window, this scenario will undoubtedly necessitate thorough evaluations from the club before any concrete actions are undertaken.
