Wolverhampton Wanderers reportedly tried and failed to bring Silva to the Premier League in 2018 and the Serie A giants are now desperate to sell.

AC Milan have approached Wolverhampton Wanderers to offer ill-fitting striker Andre Silva to the Premier League high-flyers, as reported by Calciomercato.

An exciting £33 million signing from FC Porto in the summer of 2017, the striker has rapidly become an expensive white elephant at the San Siro. After a dreadful debut season on Italian shores, he was loaned out to Sevilla but a fine start in Spain has dried up dramatically.

Silva has scored just one of his 11 La Liga goals since November and Sevilla have no intention of signing the Portugal international on a permanent basis, especially as they have already agreed a deal to bring Munas Dabbur to the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan from Red Bull Salzburg.

And Calciomercato reports that Milan are desperate to find a buyer and have approached Wolves, Monaco and Valencia – three clubs where Silva’s agent Jorge Mendes holds plenty of sway.

Given that Wolves were linked with Silva consistently a year ago, it is no surprise that the Rossoneri would make Molineux their first port of call when attempting to offload the 23-year-old.

The Sun (29 May, page 50) reported in 2018 that Wolves made a £27 million bid for Silva but, after they paid big-money to bring in Raul Jimenez, is there any room for the striker now in the Black Country?
