The former AC Milan defender left the club last summer in a €42 million move that saw him join the free-spending French club.
While Silva admits that he had difficulties settling in France, he states that he has since adjusted to his new home.
“Nostalgia for Italy? I miss Italy, just like I miss Milan,” he told Sky Sport.
“At the beginning of my stay in France I had some difficulties, but I have since acclimatized to it.
Silva also commented on Andrea Pirlo and Mario Balotelli, as Brazil is set to take on Italy on Saturday to decide who will win Group A in the Confederations Cup.
“Pirlo is one of the greatest players in the world, and then there is Balotelli in attack. It will be a very difficult match.”
