Thiago Silva: Paris Saint-Germain star signs new contract to end speculation linking him with Juventus switch
THIAGO SILVA has signed a new Paris Saint-Germain contract.
The Brazilian is a key player for the French side but had just six months remaining on his current deal.
Juventus were said to be interested, while a player of his calibre would no doubt attract attention from the Premier League.
But Silva will now be staying put in France until 2020, making it a good week of business for PSG chiefs.
As reported by SunSport, the Ligue 1 champions have agreed a stunning £38million deal to sign Julian Draxler from Wolfsburg.
The German midfielder had been linked with Arsenal and Liverpool but will instead be moving to France on a four-year contract.
There are also plans to snap up his Wolfsburg teammate Ricardo Rodriguez.
