Thiago Silva, former defender of Milan, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain, was welcomed like a hero by thousands of Fluminense supporters gathered at the Maracana stadium in Rio de Janeiro for the Brazilian’s return to the club where he began his career. “You have no idea how special it is for me to come home,” the 39-year-old said into the microphone at the stadium where he played for Fluminense from 2006 to 2008. According to the club, 50,000 fans were present, a record for the presentation of a footballer in Brazil. Thiago Silva has signed a two-year contract but will not be able to return to play before July 10, the opening date of the Brazilian transfer window for international transfers. He will find other protagonists of Brazilian football in recent years such as Marcelo and Felipe Melo in the team.
