May 20th In an interview with French media Carré, Fruminense defender Thiago Silva talked about Barcelona's interest in him back then.

Thiago Silva said: "Barcelona was interested in me before joining Paris Saint-Germain, which was very difficult for me because I had just renewed my contract with AC Milan at the time. But Barcelona was indeed the club I dreamed of playing for. When the opportunity came, I thought about it for a long time, but Galliani renewed my contract."

"A week later, they told me that I could leave, and the team that could afford my transfer fee was Paris Saint-Germain. By then, Barcelona had withdrawn from negotiations and Leonardo convinced me to join Paris Saint-Germain. But in fact, I could have joined Barcelona that month ago."
