Thiago Emiliano da Silva (born 22 September 1984)
A Brazilian central defender for his national team, as well as his club team Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1. Silva established himself as one of the highest rated defenders in the world when he joined AC Milan in 2009. He was then signed by his current club in 2012, and is now the second most expensive defender after fellow Brazilian team mate David Luiz – who coincidently signed for Paris Saint-Germain as well. Silva has earned over 50 caps for his country, where he even captained them to victory in the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup.
