The saga lasted only a few days. Barely gone from Fluminense, Thiago Silva has already found a new destination. At 41, the former Paris Saint-Germain captain signed this Saturday with FC Porto until the end of the season, with an additional year as an option.
The Brazilian defender is thus making a swift return to Europe, just three days after officially announcing his departure from Brazil. A carefully considered decision, driven in particular by his desire to be closer to his family based in London, where his two sons play in Chelsea FC’s youth teams.
An Experienced Leader Back in Portugal
This return to Porto is far from insignificant. Twenty years after his first stint in Europe, already with the Portuguese club, Thiago Silva comes back with a completely different stature. Far removed from the role he held early in his career, the man nicknamed “O Monstro” arrives to immediately strengthen the defense of the current leaders of the Portuguese championship and to bring his experience to an ambitious squad.
At 41, the Brazilian veteran proves that he remains a reliable figure on the European market. FC Porto made the announcement official on December 20, 2025, sealing the comeback of a seasoned defender whose influence is expected to be felt both on and off the pitch.
