Thiago Silva has made it clear that he is not thinking about leaving AC Milan any time soon, and revealed that he is keen to stay at the Serie A club for several more years.

The centre-back has been linked with Barcelona throughout 2011, but he stressed that he has no interest in leaving San Siro just yet.

"I want to remain here at Milan until my contract runs out in 2016, and then I want to sign another four-year deal," Silva said in an interview with Milan Channel.

"I really hope that [vice-president Adriano] Galliani is watching this interview and that he knows what to do next."

The 27-year-old joined Milan from Fluminense in the summer of 2009 and has since developed into a key player at the Rossoneri.
