Thiago Silva came out of the back door of PSG after 8 years wearing the shirt of the Parisian team. Despite the great performance of the Brazilian central defender in the ranks of PSG, the board decided not to renew the contract of the one who was the captain of the team. This decision led the Brazilian international to sign for Chelsea at zero cost in the past transfer market.
But history could have changed if Thiago Silva was not a man of his word. “For me, the word is the most important thing. Once you have said something, you must move on”, assures in ‘Canal Football Club’. And, what was this possible script change due to? After the Champions League final that PSG lost against Bayern Munich where the Brazilian central defender showed a great level, Leonardo, sports director of the Parisian team, made an ‘in extremis’ call for Thiago Silva to stay at PSG, but there was no turning back, the Brazilian is a man of his word.

“Leonardo called me, told me that I was not part of the club’s project and told me I could go. After the Champions League final, He called me and asked if I had signed with another club. I said no, but I’d given Chelsea my word“, declares the former PSG player on ‘Canal Football Club’. In addition, the Brazilian assures that he did not understand the change of course of the Parisian directive:”You can’t change your mind like this and I think they did after the Champions League final because I showed my quality “.
Thiago Silva was hurt by leaving PSG’s back door after 8 years defending his shirt. “What saddens me is that I was there for eight years and I was judged in the last three games. Everything he had done before didn’t matter. It’s sad for me to make a decision like that, but it’s football. This is how it is. Now I have to look forward and keep working for Chelsea. It is a club that deserves it “, affirms.
At 36, the Brazilian center-back has become a fundamental pillar for Lampard at Chelsea, so much so that he took over the starting position in defense after the injury that prevented him from being in the game at the start of the season. Thiago Silva has played 12 games so far this year and they have served to show that he still had a lot of football in his boots and thus show that PSG was wrong by letting him escape.
