PSG: Thiago Silva leaving for Chelsea

Thiago Silva played his last match on Sunday evening for PSG. A solid performance which has something to delight the future partners of the Brazilian defender.

According to information from the new Telefoot channel, “O Monstro” has also made its choice. He is expected to join the Chelsea “Blues”. A destination reminiscent of that of his sidekick in defense at PSG, David Luiz, who also joined the London club after Paris in 2016.

Thiago Silva would have given his agreement and should formalize the transfer before the weekend. Fourth in the Premier League this year, Chelsea will see the Champions League again for one more season.

Play the World Cup in Qatar

Aged 35, he now aims to play at the top level for at least two more years to play a last World Cup with the Seleçao.

Even if he never achieved his “dream” of winning the Champions League with PSG, there is no question of letting go of the club. As he assured the microphone of RMC Sport, he plans to return in “three, four years” in a “different role”. A conversion in the footsteps of his former teammates Maxwell or Thiago Motta, who remained or returned to the club after their retirement, respectively, as leader and coach of the U19 (from 2018 to 2019).

In praise of Tuchel

During his eight years in France (2012-2020), Thiago Silva symbolized the contradictions of the team from the capital, sovereign in France but long fragile in Europe, until this summer’s epic broke the “ curse ”feared by the club and only restores its image.

His Parisian adventure should have ended on June 30. “It was a pleasure to have Tia as a captain, a player with a personality, a quality like that. He will always remain my player, he is in my heart, ”said Tuchel.
