Barcelona will seek to open talks with AC Milan this week for Thiago Silva.
Sport says Barca have their offer ready and intend to deliver it in the coming days to Milan.
Barca rate Thiago Silva at €25 million and will offer €20 million cash plus a player - likely to be Seydou Keita - in exchange for the Brazilian.
Thiago Silva expressed an ambition to play for Barca last season, though Milan insist they do not want to sell.
