O Fluminense dreams of the defender’s return Thiago Silva. Tricolor is in direct contact with the player to try to convince him to end his career at Laranjeiras. Even though he left at the end of last year, he is still esteemed within the club.
Personal reasons led him to leave Fluminense at the end of the 2025 season. Furthermore, the defender had already made his decision to return to Europe before the arrival of Luís Zubeldía. He even confided that signing the Argentine earlier could change his plans.
Thiago Silva had a contract with Fluminense until the middle of this year, but by unilateral decision he decided to bring forward the end of the contract. The board tried to dissuade the player from the idea, but the decision had already been made.
Fluminense’s conversations involving the Monster’s name were first published by journalist Victor Lessa and confirmed by the Itatiaia report.
The tone is probing and Thiago has not yet indicated the possibility. He has been in direct contact with club directors – and even players – since his departure. He also has not yet confirmed whether he will retire this year or not.
Defense is the main area of focus for management and the coaching staff to reinforce. In addition to him, another idol is in the spotlight: Nino, from Zenit-RUS. Flu has already made an offer official for the defender, captain and 2023 Copa Libertadores champion and is awaiting a response from the Russians.
Goodbye to Porto
Thiago Silva was hired by Porto in December last year and left the team after winning the Portuguese Championship. The athlete had a contract until June 2026, with an option to renew until June 2027, but Porto decided to end the contract at the end of the season.
Without a club, the defender has not yet announced whether he intends to end his career or continue in football.
