Thiago Silva

After many websites reported this rumour, now it seems much closer to being official after the recent Gazzetta article. Now, Galliani has confirmed the deal:

Negotiations are at an advanced stage,” Vice President Adriano Galliani beamed on Sky Italia.

“The lad will arrive in Milan on Sunday and will undergo his medical the following day. If everything goes according to plan, the deal will be finalized.

“I usually only talk after seeing a signature, but I can reveal that we are almost there…”

“Given that we cannot register him and then loan him out, we are keen to go down the same path we followed last year with Pato,” he explained.

“He will be at Milanello from mid-January to train with the rest of the squad, and he will fully become a Rossonero next July.”


Just a question for the Italian speaking fans..in the Italian news papers it says he's going to arrive on LUNEDI, isn't that Monday? Why do all the English news articles claim he's coming on Sunday?
