Football market: Milan resists PSG's bid for Thiago Silva

Robinho headed for Malaga. Di Matteo staying on with Chelsea

15 June, 19:10

(ANSAmed) - NAPLES, JUNE 15 - Thiago Silva is the pride of the Milan market. The Brazilian defensive player will be staying on the team despite the 40-million-euro offer made by Paris Saint Germain. The club owned by Qatar's Sheikh Al-Thani had almost managed to grab Thiago Silva away from Milan, but in the end the latter succeeded in keeping that offer at bay. Leaving Milan, on the other hand, could be Robinho: the Brazilian striker is a favourite of Manuel Pellegrini, the coach of the Malaga team (of the other Al-Thani Sheikh, cousin of the PSG owner). Rino Gattuso has instead already left Milan, having signed on with the Swiss team Sion. As concerns Italy, Juventus is allegedly also making a move, having been convinced by the good performance at the European Championships to give a chance to Sebastian Giovinco - who from co-ownership with Parma is to go back to being entirely Juventus's for about 10 million euros. Another star player in high demand on the market is the Montenegro Jovetic from the Fiorentina team. For him Chelsea has reportedly offered 25 million, but the Tuscan team refused offered. The Londoners are seeking out reinforcements after having fixed the bench problem: the Italian Roberto Di Matteo (who took the team under his training in March and brought it to win the England Cup as well as that of the Champions League) has signed a contract to coach Abramovich's team for the next two seasons.

The Bosnian striker Edin Dzeko may instead be leaving England, as he is thought not to be included in coach Mancini's plans for Manchester City for next year. Bayern Monaco is instead making a move for Dzeco, after the team saw a second season in a row without a single title to show for it. Champions League hero Didier Drogba has already left London and is said to be moving in the direction of a transfer to China and the Shanghai team, where his former Chelsea teammate Nicolas Anelka is already.

Also leaving London is Harry Redknapp, who left the Tottenham bench after leading the team to fourth place. (ANSAmed).
