Silvestre won three Argentine championships (2003, 2005, 2006), two Copa Sudamericana titles (2004, 2005) and two Recopa Sudamericana trophies (2005, 2006) with Boca Juniors between 2002 and 2008, making 63 appearances and scoring 6 goals. He then moved to Catania (2008-11, 118 appearances, 7 goals) and Palermo (2011/12, 29 games, 5 goals).
The defender met up with his new team-mates at the Centro Sportivo Angelo Moratti this morning before starting pre-season preparations in Pinzolo. This evening the Argentine will train with the Nerazzurri under Andrea Stramaccioni's orders for the first time.
