Yeah. He wanted more money.
From what I heard, he went to PSG as they offered Milan the most. He didn't have any quarrels joining us.

I just meant T Silva left Milan for more $. Only PSG had an offer "on the table" and something to do with Ibrahimovic being "thrown in".
Did Barça even make an offer?
while you're at it you can read his interviews and learn that he is the only guy who did not want to join.
From what I've heard, it seems to me like we were interested but weren't willing to meet the price tag.
I accept this. Although Hummels might cost approx €40M this summer....
So that's Hummels at €40M vs T Silva at €42M. Not much difference.
We also needed an LB last summer and our transfer budget was a bit lower (and our transfer budget can be higher still with a few sales, like Valdes). Besides, PSG would probably have outbid us on Silva anyway. And apparently Silva would have been earning more than anyone in the team besides Messi if he signed for Barca.
What did I say: mercenary
Good point about needing a LB last summer. Now Barça need a CB (or three) & a starting GK at least
Oh and Neymar
