Thiago Silva: President’s letter really moved me | OneFootball

Thiago Silva has arrived in Portugal and has been announced as the new signing for FC Porto. The 41-year-old central defender has already visited the Estádio do Dragão and gave his first interview to the blue and white media, in which he discussed the process that convinced him to join the club and the conversation he had with Francesco Farioli and André Villas-Boas.

“We only spoke once. I spoke once, via video call, with him and with the coach. That was when the deal was sealed. Of course, there were other things involved that took a bit longer. They sent me a jersey to Rio de Janeiro and the president sent a beautiful letter that moved me a lot. That was the confirmation of everything I was about to experience. I can only express my gratitude to him and to the coach as well,” Thiago Silva emphasized.

Thiago Silva was at FC Porto in 2005, but only with the B team. Two decades later, the center-back returns to the club where he began his European adventure, after a year and a half with Fluminense.
