Thiago Silva: Will be turning out for Paris St Germain in 2012/13

Paris St Germain have confirmed their capture of Brazilian defender Thiago Silva on a five-year contract from AC Milan.

Reports suggest that the deal is worth around £33million.

AC Milan announced earlier in the week that fees had been agreed with PSG for Silva and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Silva's agent indicated on Saturday that a deal for his client was 'far from' complete, but PSG have announced that a transfer has been finalised.

A statement on the club'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."

Talks

A deal for Ibrahimovic is yet to be completed.

Talks are understood to still be ongoing, as personal terms are thrashed out, and the Sweden international striker is yet to travel to France for a medical.

"He is not in Paris to pass his medical," said Ibrahimovic's representative Mino Raiola.

"We will continue to work and give a press conference when everything is settled."
