Galliani: Thiago Silva is a wanted man

AC Milan CEO Adriano Galliani has admitted that defender Thiago Silva has a long line of suitors coming after him this summer.

Galliani, who also insisted that the club would not sell supposed Manchester City target Zlatan Ibrahimovic, told reporters that teams are willing to go to great lengths for Thiago's signature.

"I have to resist the assaults on Thiago Silva. There is a row of clubs across Europe who are ready to do crazy things for the Brazilian," he told Tuttosport.

Manchester City and Paris St-Germain are amongst the reported suitors for the 2011 Samba Gold trophy winner.
