Atletico Madrid sign Silvio from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sporting-89-c40576 Braga, Nuno Gomes rejects move to Puebla FC
Braga’s Silvio lands a move to Atletico Madrid
Atletico Madrid have confirmed that Sporting Braga defender, Silvio, has moved to the Spanish club on a five-year deal.
"Silvio is a new Atletico player and he will be unveiled on Tuesday. The Portuguese player has agreed to join for the next five years.”
"Atletico Madrid and Sporting Braga both reached an accord and Silvio will be presented at the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001 Calderon on Tuesday, June 28." Los Rojiblancos revealed in an official statement.
The Selecao International started his career with the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/U-17-Youth-team-c40787 of Benfica before moving to Atlético Cacém. He did not stay with Cacém for long and signed for Odivelas but his stint at Estádio Arnaldo Dias was cut short when he transferred to Rio Ave in
2008.
Silvio became a regular feature with the Big River, playing 45 games for them in over two seasons. His performances caught the eye of Braga, who landed their man in 2010. But he only spent a year with the Portuguese outfit and is now looking for a new challenge
in La Liga, where he will have to defend against the likes http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296.

Portuguese International has called time on his career at Benfica and was rumoured to be heading to Mexican outfit, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Puebla-c40282 FC, but the 34-year-old has denied all speculation linking him to a transatlantic switch.
Gomes dedicated the majority of his playing career to the Eagles, delighting the fans for over a dozen years in his time at Estadio da Luz. The Selecao International also had a €17 million move to Italian giants http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/ACF-Fiorentina-c38209 but the club’s financial collapse
led a move back to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984.
The striker lost his berth in the starting eleven to the mercurial http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Oscar-c28720 Cardozo and his outings were further limited in the 2010/11 campaign as he only made a couple of substitute appearances.
Limited game time with the Eagles has severely dented his aspirations to don the national colours at the European Championships in 2012 and Gomes is believed to be pursuing a move to Sporting Braga in order to increase his chances of playing at the prestigious
tournament next year.
