Fluminense seal Thiago Silva return and announce deal until end of 2026 | OneFootball

Thiago Silva is back at Fluminense. The club announced on Monday afternoon the signing of the center-back, who has signed a contract until December 2026 and will begin his third spell with the Tricolor first team.

Negotiations between the parties had been underway for a few weeks. Fluminense’s board contacted the defender and his representatives to assess the possibility of a return later this season. A free agent after the end of his contract with Porto, Thiago Silva gave the green light in recent days and finalized the details to return to the club where he first made his name in football.

The experienced 41-year-old center-back is expected at CT Carlos Castilho next week, when he will begin training with the rest of the squad managed by Luis Zubeldía.

This will be Thiago Silva’s fourth spell at Fluminense, also taking into account his time in the youth ranks. For the first team, the defender has made 212 appearances and scored 19 goals in the Tricolor shirt, and is also part of the gallery of great idols in the club’s recent history.
