JAKARTA - Thiago Silva is ready to go to Chelsea. Before leaving, the Brazilian defender bid farewell to Paris Saint-Germain supporters via his social media accounts.
Silva joined PSG in 2012 from AC Milan and went on to lead the French side to seven Ligue 1 titles in eight seasons. In total, he has presented 23 trophies while defending the French club.
However, Silva was not offered a new contract at the end of his current contract. He only got a temporary extension which ran out when PSG defeated Bayern Munich in the Champions League final last week.
Chelsea have since emerged as the front club looking to sign Silva. Reportedly, he will soon sign a two-year contract to join the west London club.
Silva in his farewell speech on Thursday did not forget to thank PSG supporters. He quoted the words of a famous Portuguese poet, Fernando Pessoa.
"Do not judge something by how long they last, but by their intensity. That is why there are unforgettable moments, things that cannot be explained and people who are incomparable," wrote Silva.
"Today the cycle has ended, after eight years at PSG, I want to thank my teammates, the entire coaching staff and board, the fans, my family, God and my friends, for all the happy years we have spent. in the City of Light. "
"Here, with my wife, we have unforgettable moments, our children have grown up, we have become French citizens and we will remember forever in our hearts the years living in France. Thank you very much."
