Thiago Silva has completed a sensational return to European football, signing for FC Porto on a short-term deal until June 2026, with an option to extend the contract to June 2027. The veteran Brazilian centre-back becomes the latest reinforcement for new head coach Francesco Farioli and is described as a priority signing strongly backed by club president André Villas-Boas.
The 41-year-old defender arrives to add leadership and experience to Porto’s back line after his spell in Brazil, and the agreement confirms that he will be immediately integrated into Farioli’s plans as a key figure in the heart of the defence. The deal, which follows weeks of negotiations, marks another high-profile move in the Portuguese league as Porto look to strengthen their squad for domestic and European ambitions.
