Thiago Silva on Madrid, Barca moves

Paris Saint-Germain defender Thiago Silva has confirmed he could have joined Real Madrid or Barcelona at various stages in his career.

The Brazil international is expected to turn out against Madrid this week in the Champions League but told an interview he has more than once had the chance to play in La Liga.

“Before going to Milan I had contact with people from Madrid. When I was at Milan I had talks with Barca but details didn’t materialise. I asked about some things that were important to me and they weren’t answered,” he revealed, AS reports.

“Sandro Rosell was the President. Suddenly I saw it wasn’t a good situation for me. All the talks went well and with respect to Sandro, but I didn’t have any option.”
