Ligue 1 side Rennes are reportedly considering a move Leicester's Adrien Silva but face competition from Milan.
The 30-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan at Ligue 1 side Monaco in a deal which saw Youri Tielemans make a temporary switch to Leicester City. The Foxes have since signed Tielemans on a permanent deal which has left Silva stranded.
Leicester heavily strengthened their midfield this summer with Dennis Praet coming in along with Tielemans to a side which already consisted of the likes of Wilfred Ndidi, Hamza Choudhury, James Maddison, Daniel Amartey and Nampalys Mendy.
Silva's chances of any game time at the King Power are slim and a move away is certainly on the cards. Rennes are on the lookout for a new midfielder after parting ways with Benjamin André, who joined fellow Ligue 1 side Lille in the summer.
Italian giants AC Milan are also considering Silva according to the report but Rennes are one step ahead of them in the race. With not a lot of time left in the transfer window, any deal will have to be accelerated and Silva's future could be sorted as early as this week.
Leicester, on the other hand, will look to recoup as much of the reported £22million they paid for him almost two years ago. However, based on his recent form, the Foxes will be lucky to get half of what they invested in him by one of Rennes or Milan in the next few days.
