💣 Transfer bombshell! Thiago Silva returns to Fluminense

On the afternoon of this Monday (22), Fluminense announced Thiago Silva’s return on social media.

Less than six months after leaving the club “without much explanation” to join Porto, in Portugal, the 41-year-old center-back signed a contract with the Rio Tricolor through December 2026.

Thiago Silva is expected at CT Carlos Castilho, in Barra da Tijuca, in the southwest zone of Rio de Janeiro, to join the squad as it returns to activities after the break for the Cup.

During his previous spell at the club, where he won the Copa do Brasil in 2007 and finished as Copa Libertadores runner-up in 2008, “Monstro” played 66 matches, scored five goals, and provided one assist.

In the second half of 2026, Fluminense will compete in the Brasileirão, where they are in third place with 31 points, the Copa do Brasil round of 16 (against Vasco), and the Copa Libertadores round of 16 (against Independiente Rivadavia).

The Laranjeiras Tricolor returns to the field on July 22 at the Maracanã against RB Bragantino in the 19th round of the Brasileirão.
