Thiago Silva

Milan brought in Thiago Silva from Brazilian club Fluminense last December. The 24-year-old penned a four-year contract but has been unable to feature in official matches so far due to rules on non-EU players.

“I am very happy and satisfied, but it is difficult to train without playing,” he admitted in an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“But everyone is following and helping me here. I get on well with all my team-mates and in particular [Clarence] Seedorf and [Philippe] Senderos, besides the Brazilians.

“I don’t know the city very well because I don’t go out often but it is beautiful. I started studying Italian three months before moving here. I can understand it rather well now but I still struggle to speak it fluently.”

There are reports that Milan are keeping tabs on Sao Paulo stopped Joao Miranda de Souza Filho, simply known as Miranda.

“He is a great friend of mine and we meet in the national side,” Thiago Silva enthused.

“I would be really happy if he joined us. We have talked and I told him that it is really nice at Milan. We were the best defenders in the Brazilian league over the past two seasons. We could make a really good partnership.”
