Inter Milan threaten Real Madrid hopes for Valencia winger Silva

Inter Milan are joining the race for Valencia winger David Silva.

Corriere dello Sport says new Inter coach Rafa Benitez has asked president Massimo Moratti to move for Silva.

The Spain international has been put up for sale by Valencia this summer and has attracted serious enquiries from Manchester City and Real Madrid.

Valencia have welcomed Inter's approach as they seek to spark an auction for their World Cup winger.
