Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi revealed the huge offer came from mega-bucks French outfit Paris St Germain.
But Berlusconi confirmed the Italians knocked back the approach for the Brazil defender, 27.
He said: “We had no intention of selling the player but we had received an extraordinary offer from PSG.
“We have always been clear and PSG should not feel let down.
“We told them from the start that we would take a decision once we had looked at the offer and seen what is out there in the market in terms of finding a possible replacement.
“They made us a very interesting offer, close to 46million euros.
“We considered the possibility and we looked at the central defenders that would replace Thiago Silva but we haven’t found an adequate player.”
Berlusconi also brushed aside reports that another City target, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, will move away from the San Siro this summer.
He said: “Regarding Ibra, he will also remain because he is the best in his position.”
