London-based Brazilian player Gilberto Silva is happy to have attracted the attention of a Madrid club. According to the Spanish sports newspaper "Marca," the Spanish team is expected to make an offer for a possible transfer of Gilberto to their team this summer.
The 27-year-old Brazilian told "Marca," "I am very pleased to know that such a club is interested in me. I spoke with my agent and he told me what was written in that article."
"I am happy that others notice my game, which has been going very well for me this season. It is nice for every footballer to know this, as it gives more confidence in their abilities."
However, the player himself does not want to rush events: "First, 'Atletico' should come to an agreement with 'Arsenal,' as they have the rights to me for the next two years, and if they agree, then 'Atletico' representatives could approach me."
"'Arsenal' is a great club with many great players and ambitions in all the tournaments they participate in - that is the main reason why 'Atletico' became interested in me," - concluded the defender, who has scored 4 goals in 24 matches this season.
