Inter's current manager, Simone Inzaghi, has been offered a contrat extension by Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal, which he is considering. This has raised doubts about his future at Inter.
According to reports, Inter have included Silva in their list of potential replacements if Inzaghi decides to leave the club.
Meanwhile, Silva is also being considered by Tottenham, who are looking for a new manager following uncertainty around their current coach, Ange Postecoglou.
