'We will save €150m' - AC Milan president Berlusconi suggests Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva deal with Paris Saint-Germain is complete

The Rossoneri patron has told the press the duo will be leaving San Siro and it will be a huge boost to the club's finances, though there is no official word from either side yet

AC Milan president Silvio Berlusconi has claimed that he has sold Thiago Silva and Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Paris Saint-Germain.

It is understood that a €60 million offer was enough to persuade the Italians into parting with two of their biggest assets, with the move then subject to the players negotiating personal terms with the Ligue 1 giants. Although the supremo did not confirm the figure involved in the transfer, he conceded that letting the duo leave would allow the club to reduce their costs.

"It is true that I have sold them to Paris Saint-Germain," he is quoted as saying by Ansa. "With their departures, we will save €150m."

Despite Berlusconi's statements, neither the Serie A side or PSG have confirmed the transfers.

Earlier in the summer, Thiago Silva was close to joining PSG in a €46m swoop, but Berlusconi vetoed the deal at the last minute before offering the Brazilian defender an improved contract.

However, with Milan's financial problems well documented, the Rossoneri have not been able to make a big investment in the summer transfer market following a season in which they lost their Serie A crown to Juventus.

The side have so far spent little over €4m on quintet Francesco Acerbi, Gabriel, Bakaye Traore, Riccardo Montolivo and Kevin Constant.

Despite denials from the Parisians' coach Carlo Ancelotti, fellow Argentine and ex-Napoli stiker Roberto Sosa has leaked news of the signing to the press, while Javier Pastore’s girlfriend has also hinted the move has been completed on Twitter.

"Chatting to Lavezzi via text messages, I found out the news I hoped to the end I would not receive: the agreement with Paris Saint-Germain is done," Sosa told Sky Sport Italia.

"The rumours of the last few days were unfortunately true. It will be tough for Napoli to replace him."

Meantime, Pastore's girlfriend Chiara Picone congratulated Lavezzi's partner, Yanina Screpante, on their move to the French capital via the social networking platform.

"I'm happy you are coming to Paris. We're waiting for you and we'll spend some fun times together," she wrote.

Recent reports suggest a deal has been struck of around €27.5m plus performance-related bonuses and the profits from an August friendly match for the 27-year-old.

The Paris club faced stiff competition for the signature of Lavezzi as Inter had also set their sights on the Argentina international, but now seem to have lost out to the Ligue 1 runners-up.

The switch is expected to be finalised once the transfer window officially reopens on June 13.
