In addition to Fluminense, other teams from the European continent have made inquiries about Thiago Silva. He is a free agent after not renewing with Porto. According to information initially reported by 'Canal do Lessa' and confirmed by ge, Thiago Silva gave the same answer to all interested parties. He stated that he has not yet decided what his next career step will be and is evaluating his future.

FC Porto announced the departure of Thiago Silva. The Brazilian central defender returned to FC Porto last winter and played 14 matches in all competitions this season. The possibility that Thiago Silva will retire is not being ruled out.

Thiago Silva, a 41-year-old Brazilian centre-back, is considering whether to continue playing for another year, a possibility his contract with FC Porto allows, or to retire from high-level football. The decision may be linked to whether he is called up by Carlo Ancelotti for the 2026 World Cup. The defender has 113 caps and 7 goals for Brazil. If included in the Brazil squad for the competition, the likelihood that Thiago Silva will play another year and participate in FC Porto's Champions League project is very high. If not selected for the World Cup, Thiago Silva is seriously considering retiring from football. Thiago Silva has stated that without FC Porto, he could have ended his career in December and has discussed the possibility of retirement. He emphasized his ongoing ambition to play in the World Cup and is open to continuing his career if the opportunity arises.
