O Fluminense agreed to hire Thiago Silva. The information was first released on the website ge and confirmed by ESPN.
The 39-year-old defender is at the end of his contract with the Chelsea and will reinforce the Laranjeiras team after the opening of the international window, on July 10th. The contract with Fluminense will be valid until June 2026.
To repatriate Thiago Silva, Fluminense overcame strong competition. First in European football. ESPN found that the defender still had offers, mainly from England. However, Thiago’s desire to return to Fluminense weighed heavily.
He arrives to fill a space in the defense that had been vacant since the departure of Nino, currently at Zenit. With this, the ‘Monster’, as he is called by Tricolor fans, is the hope of better days for the club’s defense.
Thiago Silva played three professional seasons for Fluminense before moving to Milan, in Italy. Between 2006 and 2008, the tricolor idol played in 147 matches, scored 14 goals and was part of the 2007 Copa do Brasil champion squad.
