?And now what will happen? This is the question that the Milan fans, having passed the storm Thiago Silva, are done with more insistence. Because hot the joy for the failure to sell the Brazilian was great, but now, cold, it's time to analyze the situation well. The official version of the company, explicated by Berlusconi and, on several occasions, by Galliani, states that everything would have jumped for a presidential decision. The Knight would have made a choice of the heart, putting the technical aspect before the economic one.
However, the usual malicious ones don't believe it, and with a grin remember what happened in 2009 with Kakà. In January, Milan rejected the assault by Manchester City (presented in Milan with 110 million euros), with consequent scenes of jubilation on the part of the Milan fans. However, he soon underwent a cold, indeed icy, shower. PWhy six months later Real Madrid took away the "Golden Child" for 68 million, leaving the Rossoneri fans first astonished and then furious. Company promises? Vanished into thin air, also because, as we learned later, the sale of Kakà had already been decided in January. The Brazilian had indeed rejected Manchester City, but only because he was enticed by the great Real, a decidedly more glamorous and competitive club (at least in 2009).
There are similarities here too. because Thiago is not only interested in PSG, but also in Sandro Rosell's Barcelona, who officially asked Adriano Galliani a few weeks ago. Mind you, a clue is not enough to test it, but it can be useful in order not to let your guard down excessively. Not so much in this market session (Milan would really make a bad impression), but for the next ones, which will see Thiago Silva attacked again by the big Europeans.
In the meantime though the Brazilian stayed and is now cashing in. Berlusconi's refusal to PSG cost him something like 40 million euros, given that he would have signed a four-year contract worth 10 million per season (excluding bonuses). Thiago certainly won't go hungry in Milan (his contract provides for 4,5 million a year until 2016), but the transfer market has its logic and Paulo Tonietto knows them well. "We understand that Thiago is the most popular player in the squad – the agent said on Thursday – so we expect his contract to be adjusted accordingly". “It's normal for him to say that – ha replied Berlusconi – we will find an agreement”. Which, translated, means contractual adjustment, with an attached economic outlay. Rumors speak of an increase to 6,5 per season, on a par with Robinho but always far from Ibrahimovic (12). In short, how to move from a possible record collection (46 million) to a new (and salty) expense, which will aggravate an already bloodless budget. As long as no new twists are feared on the horizon.
