MILAN HAVE confirmed that Thiago Silva will stay at Milan.

Silvio Berlusconi has decided and it’s the decision the Milan fans were hoping for: The Rossoneri are set to reject Paris Saint-Germain’s offer for Brazilian defender Thiago Silva and keep the player in their squad.

Adriano Galliani was in talks in Paris and it seemed that Thiago would be leaving Milan after his personal terms had already been agreed with Les Parisiens but Berlusconi has decided to block the transfer.

Agent wants improved T. Silva contract

“President Silvio Berlusconi has decided: Thiago Silva stays at Milan,” an official communication appears on Milan’s website on Thursday evening. By blocking this transfer, Berlusconi is giving up on a lot of money due but pressure from the players, the board and the fans made him decide to reject PSG’s offer. “PSG have decided to withdraw negotiations with AC Milan for the player Thiago Silva,” Paris SG confirmed today.

Thiago Silva expressed desire in the past to stay at Milan for many years and be a captain one day but was already on his way out of the club. Berlusconi promised that he’ll “maintain the level of the squad” and keeping Thiago Silva shows exactly that he intends to do that – although money for the mercato is lacking.

It is possible that the 27-year-old will now get an improved contract. He currently earns €4 million a season but his agent has made it clear that the deal should be improved if he stays, perhaps to €7 million yearly.
