Paris Saint-Germain have announced the signing of Thiago Silva from AC Milan on a five-year deal.

The news follows Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi’s announcement that he had agreed to sell both Thiago Silva and Zlatan Ibrahimovic to PSG.

The Brazil centre-back’s agent, Paulo Toniello, had indicated on Saturday morning that the transfer was still “far from” complete, but terms were agreed later in the day and the move has now been finalised.

A statement on PSG’s official website read: “Thiago Silva, 27 years old, Brazilian international, from AC Milan, has this Saturday signed with Paris Saint-Germain for five seasons.”

The deal to take Ibrahimovic to Paris, though, has yet to be agreed, with the player reportedly eager to secure a salary in the region of €14 million a year.

His agent, Mino Raiola, denied on Saturday that the Sweden striker had arrived at the club to undergo a medical and indicated that talks were still ongoing.

“He is not in Paris to pass his medical,” he told the media. “We will continue to work and give a press conference when everything is settled.”
