Thiago Silva’s agent: FC Porto title would be a career highlight | OneFootball

At 41 years old, Thiago Silva remains in excellent shape and has been a key player in FC Porto's success since he joined the blue and whites as a free agent in January.

“I hadn't spoken to him for some time, but I talked to him last week and he told me, ‘I'm feeling very happy.’ So, when a player says this at his age... I was even going to send him a message saying, ‘Hey, when are you going to stop playing?’. It's just that we don't know anymore, we don't know when he's going to stop playing,” said the agent in statements to Antena 1, highlighting Thiago Silva's goals at the club.

“[Being a champion with FC Porto is a goal] Certainly, have no doubt. That is a dream for him. I'm sure it will be one of the most important titles of his career if he becomes a champion with FC Porto,” revealed Paulo Tonietto, who hopes to see the defender among Ancelotti's call-ups to represent Brazil in the 2026 World Cup: “In my opinion as a fan and as Thiago's agent, he couldn't be left out of this Brazilian squad that will be called up for the World Cup. He couldn't be left out because he already has four World Cups, has a lot of experience, and could contribute a lot, really a lot, whether playing or not, because of the experience he has gained in four World Cups. There is no player with that experience, so I think that, because he is a leader, Thiago is a leader, and that would help Ancelotti a lot.”

Tonietto further explained the care that allows Thiago Silva to remain at the highest level at 41 years old: “He takes great care of himself. Thiago is an example of professionalism, both in diet and rest. He lives for football and for his family. That's why, at his age, he continues to play at the highest level and be one of the best defenders in the world. His body is his work instrument, and he treats it with incredible respect,” he concluded.
