On the same day Thiago Silva was officially announced as the newest signing for Porto, the veteran Brazilian defender took to social media to address his departure from Fluminense.
The athlete utilized a video message to clarify what he described as “statements taken out of context.” This clarification was likely in response to an earlier social media post made by his wife, Belle Silva, on Saturday, which had sparked a negative reaction among segments of the Fluminense fan base (known as tricolores).
In his statement, Thiago Silva conveyed his deep affection and gratitude for his time at the club, emphasizing the positive experience by saying: “I was very happy.”
Thiago Silva’s move to Porto marks a new chapter in his illustrious career, and his swift message aimed to ensure that his legacy with his former Brazilian club ended on a note of respect and appreciation, despite the surrounding media noise.
