Brazilian international Thiago Silva is a free agent after deciding not to renew his contract with Porto, where an initial possibility of an automatic one-season extension was not exercised. Milan has invited the 41-year-old defender to sign a one-season contract until June 2027 to conclude his career in Italian football. The player is currently taking time to rest with his family before making a decision on his next move.
If he continues playing, Milan is regarded as his most probable destination, partly due to his status as a club idol and his friendship with sporting director Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Another option for Silva is to retire and study for coaching licenses in England, as he has an invitation to work within Chelsea's structure. The defender has 113 caps and 7 goals for Brazil, and a current market value of €600k, according to Transfermarkt.
