| Reports: Milan secure Silva |

There are reports in Italy that Milan have beaten Inter and Villarreal to the signature of Brazilian defender Thiago Silva.
The promising Fluminense stopper has become one of the hottest properties for 2009.
Inter have been watching the Selecao star for months and there were rumours that they had a provisional agreement to sign him.
However, Milan's defender hunt led them to Silva, who was also on Villarreal's shopping list.
In the end, Villarreal's bid to lure Silva ran out of steam, as the Yellow Submarine's £4.5m offer was deemed insufficient.
And according to the Corriere dello Sport, Milan have won the tug-of-war and the stopper has chosen the Rossoneri after recent meetings with Diavolo representative Leonardo.
After signing Ronaldinho, Milan are unable to buy another non-EU player until next June, but they can draw up a provisional agreement in the New Year.
