After eight years at Paris Saint-Germain, where he was one of the pillars of the Qatari project in the French capital, Brazilian central defender Thiago Silva crossed the Channel to discover the Premier League under the colors of Chelsea. Among the residents of Stamford Bridge, he very quickly became an important element of the central defense, whether under the orders of Franck Lampard, Thomas Tuchel (with whom he lifts the 2021 Champions League), Graham Potter or even Mauricio Pochettino . Under the latter’s orders, the 39-year-old is even an indisputable starter in this first part of the season, missing only one small Premier League match in 20 days.
But while the Auriverde international’s contract (113 caps, 7 goals) expires next summer, his future could well be written on the other side of the Atlantic. Indeed, according to information from Mirror, Fluminense would be interested in a return of a player he trained before buying him in 2007. The British tabloid explains the latest winner of the Copa Libertadores, and finalist of the Club World Cup last December, would like offer Thiago Silva what would be one of the last pages of a rich career, with nearly 700 matches between Brazil, Italy, France and England. The main interested party, for his part, has still not made his choice, six months before the end of his lease with the CFC.
