AC Milan defender Thiago Silva has admitted that it would be a "dream" to represent Brazil at this summer's Olympic Games in London.
The 27-year-old has cited Brazil's failure to ever win a gold medal as the main reason behind his desperation to be part of Mano Menezes's squad.
"This is the dream of every player because the Olympics is the only title Brazil are missing," the centre-back told Swide.
"I am available to the coach if he wants to bring me to the Olympics in London. I will go with pleasure."
Silva has recently spent several weeks on the sidelines with a thigh injury.
