“But it’s traditional that a club needs to assume and replicate before they sell the most effective defender within the world. Milan don’t take PSG seriously? No, if there are any issues then they're in Milano, not here.” Leonardo was the one to identify Thiago Silva when he was enjoying in Brazil; at the time Leo was a Milan director and scout.
