However, negotiations fell through at the very last moment and Silva has returned to train with the rest of the squad. But that doesn’t mean Silva will not end up in France after all. The two clubs have resumed talks with the Rossoneri very interested in Monaco starlet Pietro Pellegri.
Pellegri’s agent Giuseppe Riso was at Casa Milan today to meet with the management of AC Milan. The meeting lasted one hour and AC Milan asked for information on the situation of Pellegri.
