THIAGO Silva could be available on a free transfer this summer after failing to negotiate a new deal with Paris Saint-Germain.
The defender’s agent Paulo Tonietto has told Globoesporte that the aim is to remain with the French outfit, but since there have been no talks so far, they are not ruling out a return back home for the Brazilian.

Tonietto said: ”At the moment there is no negotiation [with PSG]. I will not talk about clubs because Thiago’s priority is to stay at PSG.
”Football is very dynamic. But at the moment the priority is PSG. We will wait for PSG.
”If it does not manifest, it is evident that we will hear proposals”.
The 35-year-old has been with PSG since 2012 but could fancy a swansong elsewhere.
He has made 19 appearances in 21 Ligue 1 games this season and remains a key part of the manager Thomas Tuchel’s squad.
Having said that, the French giants have plenty of other centre-backs in reserve including Marquinhos, Presnel Kimpembe and Abdou Diallo.
Silva has scored 16 goals in 306 games for PSG and won 20 titles with them.
The PSG captain also helped led Brazil to a Copa America trophy last year and it is rumoured that the Brazilian is considering returning to his home country.
He left Fluminense for AC Milan in 2009, where he played 93 games in three years.
PSG are ten points clear at the top of Ligue 1 and face Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League last 16.
