Thiago Silva cherishes playing alongside Lucas Moura in the team, and tips the Brazilian to be one of the best in the country
The newly recruited expensive signing from AC Milan, Thiago Silva, deemed as the defensive rock for any team, has expressed his utter jubilance to be joined by his fellow country-mate Lucas Moura, in an ambitious project at Paris.
The potential title contenders for this season, Paris-Saint Germain, have boosted the squad in a befitting manner, bringing world class players like Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Thiago Silva and Lucas Moura into their folds.
Carlo Ancelotti had to face stern competition from Manchester United and Inter Milan, to land the highly rated midfielder into the team.
It took for the French club to offer the highest bid, surpassing their previous record signings and overcoming a strong bid from the Red Devils, reportedly to be 40 million euros, to eventually get the signature of the starlet.
Moura will be taking the pitch for the team in January next year as part of the deal. In the meantime, the attacking midfielder will help Sao Paulo win as much silverware as they can through his help.
With Thiago Silva already playing for PSG, the defender is looking forward to play with Lucas again in recent times as the two have also linked up for Brazil in the recently concluded London Olympics.
The 27-year-old believes, Moura is one of the finest talents to have emerged in South America in recent times, and tips the 19-year-old teenage sensation to shine for his country. The defender said, “Soon he will be one of the best players for our country.
I have no doubt about it.”
The 42 million euro arrival also took stalk at the technique of the talented playmaker and was full of praise for the midfield sensation in terms of the way he can spray the ball around up front, a great helping hand for Javier Pastore and Lavezzi.
According to him “He rarely misses his passes and can easily bring the ball towards goal” and he continued “Playing up front with Ibrahimovic and others, it’s promising”.
