    I think there is a very very faint infrared but source but i'm not sure.

    Can anyone help me ?

    I think you may be right.

    If you click on the WISE link you'll get a very informative webpage and set of images.

    I can't easily cut and copy from that page (maybe someone else knows how?), but you'll see that there may be a really faint source in the cyan circle in the WISE Band 1 and WISE Band 2 images (the cyan circle marks the location of the radio source). That there's nothing in the SDSS image suggests that this radio source is extremely distant, and likely the result of AGN activity. If so, then it's not a relic.

    Hope this helps and happy hunting! 😃
