PSG – Thiago Silva still blames Leonardo: “It’s the saddest thing”

It’s a love story that ended badly. Thiago Silva still has his departure from PSG through the throat. The Brazilian confirmed it Sunday on Canal +. “I did not have a contract proposal to extend, he revealed. Leonardo called me, he told me that I was not part of the club project, that I could leave. It was very hard to accept that. After the Champions League final he called me into his office and asked me if I had already signed with another club. I said no but that I had given Chelsea my word and that I was going to sign in the evening.“

Thiago Silva did not appreciate Leonardo’s attitude. He had already said it. But he put a layer back on. “For me the most important thing is the word, he explained. When you say things, you can’t change your mind like that. In my opinion, they changed their mind with the Champions League. I did eight years there and they only considered three matches to change their mind. Everything I did before was wasted. It’s sad to make a decision like that, but it’s football. We must move forward and continue to work for Chelsea, a club that deserves it.”

If Thiago Silva remains marked by this episode, it is because he did not expect it to end this way. Already with Leonardo, the two men had known each other for a long time. “It’s the saddest thing, he confessed. He was the one who brought me to AC Milan, he who brought me to PSG. He spent six or seven years with me, that means he could get to know me a little better. And it was the opposite.”

But the Brazilian also imagined another treatment of the club towards him. He was hoping for another exit. “The sadness is that I am the captain who won the most titles with PSG, and I went out the back door, not the front door, he regrets. They said two or three months before (the Final 8) that I was not part of the project. In my opinion they could have done things on my last day, they didn’t. “Thiago Silva is still marked. Even if it cannot be seen in his excellent performances in the Chelsea shirt.
