Thiago Silva is a free agent again at the age of 41, with the veteran Brazilian defender agreeing to the early termination of his contract at Fluminense. Having spent 18 months back at his boyhood club, the classy centre-half is said to be eyeing a return to Europe - where he has previously represented AC Milan, Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea.

Another chapter may be opening in Thiago Silva’s remarkable career after the veteran defender appeared to say goodbye to his Fluminense teammates following their elimination by Vasco in the Copa do Brasil semi-final. Despite having a contract until mid-2026, the Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea legend now faces an uncertain future, with retirement or a move back to Europe both firmly on the table.

Veteran Brazilian defender Thiago Silva is wanted back at AC Milan, according to reports, with the Rossoneri looking to reunite the South American centre-half with his former Chelsea team-mate Christian Pulisic. Silva is now 41 years of age and back in his homeland with Fluminense, but he is not ready to retire just yet and could be lured back to European football.
