| Milan to sign Silva on Sunday |
Friday 12 December, 2008 |

Highly rated Brazilian defender Thiago Silva is expected in Milan on Sunday to sign a contract with the Rossoneri.
The Fluminense ace has been tracked by Inter, Villarreal and Milan for the last 12 months.
There were reports that Inter had agreed a pre-contract with the 24-year-old and Villarreal tabled a bid of around £5m.
But Milan are ready to pay just under £9m and Silva is keen to play alongside a number of his Selecao teammates in Carlo Ancelotti's side.
The defensive talent will travel to Milan on Sunday to sign a four-year deal worth around £2.2m per season.
Silva won't be allowed to play for Milan until next summer because the Diavolo have their full quota of non-EU players.
However, the new man is expected to come to Italy to train, just as Alexandre Pato did last year.
