Atletico are in the market to reinforce their attacking options with Antoine Griezmann due to join MLS side Orlando City on a free transfer this summer.
Explaining his decision to leave City, Silva said in an interview with Canal 11 this week: ‘It was a decision I made two years ago, that I would see out my contract and then we would go our separate ways. When I made the decision, I knew I wouldn’t change my mind.
‘When I arrived, I never imagined I’d stay for nine years, that’s a long time at a club.
‘The decision to leave was a natural one. It’s my last chance to take on another challenge in my life, to do something different.
‘Since I left, my family has been pulling me back. They know that nine years is a long time and, after everything I’ve achieved here, it made sense to do something different.’
