Wolves were linked with signing Andre Silva in January.

AC Milan forward Andre Silva has told Tuttomercatoweb he never seriously considered a transfer away from the club.

Silva has struggled after signing for Milan from Porto in the summer, and has just one Serie A goal to his name.

Silva was linked in January with a move to Wolves, a transfer linked to their connections with his agent Jorge Mendes and The Mirror reported this weekend they are still keen on a move if they win promotion.

Silva though insists he is happy at Milan and gives no clues he is keen on a move.

He puts his troubles down to adjusting to playing in another country – which also suggests he would not see playing in a third league in as many seasons as the solution to his problems.

He said: “My thoughts have always been to stay here and do my job at Milan, here in Italy everything changed for me, it was the first time I came out of my country.

“Football is football, the same everywhere, but everything is always done to make the best possible, I do not think that the high cost of the transfer has weighed on me, the real problem is what I have already said, that changing country then changed everything.”

A strong end to the season would change a lot for Silva, as he is bidding to secure a starting role for Portugal up front at the World Cup.

Silva’s prospects at Milan next season will depend on how this plays out, and their transfer activity in the summer, whether they choose to bring in a striker or not.

But it may be that if he decides to move on, Silva feels the continuity of staying in Italy is preferable to another re-adjustment by moving country.
