Paper lifts the lid on Thiago Silva’s Fluminense exit | OneFootball

Fluminense officially announced the mutual termination of the contract with defender Thiago Silva on the night of last Wednesday (17). Although there were still six months remaining on the contract, the defender chose not to fully complete the contract with the Tricolor due to the distance from his family, who live in England.

According to information released by ge, Thiago's departure was not a surprise to the management. The former Tricolor captain had been indicating his desire to leave the club to return to Europe since September. Recognizing the athlete's effort to reduce his salary and stay away from his family to return to Brazil, Fluminense's management had already made an agreement with the defender in case he chose to end the contract in the last six months.

The management made a final attempt to convince Thiago Silva to continue at Fluminense after holding a meeting last Monday (15), but it was unsuccessful.

In addition to winning the unprecedented Copa do Brasil title with the Warriors Team in 2007, the former number 3 bids farewell to the Warriors Team with 19 goals scored in 212 matches played over two stints at the club.
