 | | Thiago Silva: I did not want to leave Milan, but the club wanted the money31.07.2012 |
One of the biggest transfer sagas this summer was the transfer of Thiago Silva from Milan to Paris Saint Germain and now Brazilian himself revealed that he didn't wanted to leave Milan and explained that "Milan" are wanted money, not him.
PSG drew Silva and Zlatan Ibrahimovic for a total of 65 million, and this left many AC Milan fans angry as they blamed the players that only chase higher wages.
And while Ibra set PSG as "dream club" and criticized his former team, so Silva tried to keep his good name among fans of "Milan", explaining that he left for the good of the club.
"I gave to understand that I wanted to stay until the end of my contract, but I knew that Milan had financial difficulties," said Silva. "Because of this it would be difficult to stay, I still am in Milan, if they were their financial problems."
"I am not mercenary. Milan was my home. They did a good deal. Signed me for 10 million euros and I sold for 42 million. "
"Serie A is not a weak league suddenly. In Italian football remains a very successful product that inspires people around the world. It is true that Milan lost money. They also lost leading figures like Seedorf, Inzaghi and Gattuso. Milan will have to restructure the team. It will not be easy, but Allegri is a smart coach who will find solutions, "added Silva.
