"I recommended Thiago Silva to Galliani and Braida, and the latter fell in love with him. He already had a pre-contract with Inter, and Villarreal were also interested in the player, but we spoke to him and he chose Milan in five minutes. He was won over by the club's prestige and the idea of developing alongside someone like Nesta. In hindsight, I'd say he did well, with all due respect to his Nerazzurri cousins..."
"Thiago Silva signed for Paris Saint-Germain in a deal worth up to €42m, becoming the most expensive defender ever at the time. There, he would win 23 trophies including seven league titles, before moving on to Chelsea where he became a Champions League winner in 2020-21."
Serginho recommended Thiago Silva to Galliani and Braida, and Braida became very impressed. Thiago already held a pre-contract with Inter while Villarreal also expressed interest, but he chose Milan within five minutes after conversations. He was attracted by Milan's prestige and the chance to develop alongside Alessandro Nesta. Thiago signed for Milan in 2009 from Fluminese and became a fan favourite, helping win the 2010-11 Scudetto and the Supercoppa Italiana soon after. He transferred to Paris Saint-Germain for up to €42m, won 23 trophies including seven league titles, and later joined Chelsea, winning the 2020-21 Champions League. He remains linked with a Milan return that has not occurred.
