The soap opera of Thiago Silva has taken a radical turn in its outcome after several days of doubts about the future of the legendary Brazilian center back. Finally it was the FC Porto of Portugal the one who has made the decision to take over his services and grant him the opportunity to contest his last World before hanging up the boots.
To his 41 yearsand after making the decision to terminate the contract with Fluminense that linked him to the club until June of next year, two possible avenues were opened for the future. The first, to say goodbye to football as a player permanently, and the second, a return to Europe for a ‘last dance’.
There were many signs that pointed to the Premier as a potential destination because his family continues in England for the connection of their children with the Chelsea. But finally, in an unexpected strategy, he will return hand in hand with the club that saw him born in the old continent, playing at that time, in the 04/05 campaign, only for the lower of the club.
There were many attempts by Fluminense to try to retain their biggest star, all of them useless. Now Porto continues with its strategy of fishing for talent in international leagues, such as Gabri Veiga of Saudi Arabia, Borja Sainz from the English second division, and now Thiago Silva from South America.
