Thiago Silva and Sergio Ramos are two great defenders, but with one turning 41 in September and the other who will be 40 in March, signing them would be an act of faith.
The former AC Milan and Chelsea centre-back has decided to leave Fluminense six months before the end of his current contract, while the ex-Real Madrid legend announced the termination of his rapport with Monterrey.
Both would love to come back to the European football that really matters, and have been linked with Serie A, but so far we haven’t seen any movement on that front.
Thiago Silva and Sergio Ramos represent the past

The bond with Milan is more about nostalgia that will never fade, seeing as Thiago Silva was an unforgettable pillar of that squad, but there’s nothing more to it.
The same is true for Sergio Ramos, who wrote memorable pages in the history books of football, but seeing as clubs must look to the future and not the past, signing him would require an act of faith.
It’s not just about the economics of these operations, but their ages have to be taken into account too.
