Ibrahimovic, Thiago Silva to PSG for 62 mln

The sale of Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva to Paris Saint Germain for 62 million euros is almost a done deal, one that, along with projected salary savings of 150 million euros over the next few years, might bring Milan AC out of the red, sources said. Qatari Sheikh Al-Thani appears to be assembling his dream team, with Ibrahimovic in the front lines along with Lavezzi, Pastore and Menem, one capable of a Champions League triumph. Milan AC is now shopping for Carlos Tevez, the Argentine star of Manchester City, as well as Rolando, the Portuguese defender who shone during the recent European Cup tournament, and Kaka, who is on the outs with Real Madrid coach Mourinho, but who would have to accept a pay cut were he to return. Reigning Champions League champion Chelsea AC is about to close the deal for 20-year-old Brazilian striker Oscar, acquiring him from Internacional Porto Alegre for 20 million euros. Also in Brazil, Inter AC is reportedly willing to pay 25 million euros for the 23-year-old midfielder of Corinthians Paulista, fresh from their Libertadores Cup triumph. Russian magnate Ibrahimovic is reportedly ready to make a mega offer for Atletico Madrid star Falcao, and Fiorentina acquired Dutch-born Moroccan talent Mounir el Hamdaoui from Ajax, and 23-year-old striker Adel Taarabt, also Moroccan, has extended his contract with London's Queens Park Rangers. Roma AC striker Borini is about to sign with Liverpool at a 14 million euro price tag, Fabio Capello is reportedly in the running to coach Russia's national team after their disappointing Euro Cup showing, and Malaga appears to be about to acquire Sporting Lisbona's striker, Izmailov.
