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

At 41 years old, Thiago Silva remains in excellent shape and has been an important part of FC Porto’s success since he joined the blue and whites as a free agent in January.

“I hadn’t spoken to him for a while, 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?’ Because we just 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.

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

Tonietto also explained the care that allows Thiago Silva to stay at the highest level at 41: “He takes great care of himself. Thiago is an example of professionalism, both in his diet and in his rest. He lives for football and for his family. That’s why, at his age, he continues to play at the highest level and is still one of the best center-backs in the world. His body is his working tool and he treats it with incredible respect,” he concluded.
