Agent of defender claims he has no contact from Barcelona or City

Thiago Silva's agent has insisted there is 'no truth' in the reports of the defender potentially moving to Barcelona. The Spanish press recently claimed the Camp Nou club had already started negotiations with AC Milan to acquire the 27-year-old. The Brazil international is also a reported target of Manchester City, Chelsea and Paris St Germain. "I can assure everyone that I have not been contacted by Barcelona or any other club," Silva's agent Paulo Tonietto told calciomercato.it. "Milan have not notified me of any update. There are just rumours and there is no truth in it." The Rossoneri have reiterated they have no intention to part company with Silva, who is under contract until June 2016. Silva joined Milan in 2009 from Fluminense after previous unsuccessful spells in Europe with Porto and Dinamo Moscow.
