Thiago Silva joins Chelsea

The center-back, who concluded his contract with Paris Saint-Germain after losing in the Champions League final against Bayern Munich, is the sixth signing for "The Blues" for the upcoming season, joining Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech, Xavier Mbuyamba, Ben Chilwell, and Malang Sarr.

"I am very happy to join Chelsea. I am delighted to be part of Frank Lampard's exciting team for the next season and I am here to fight for titles. See you soon, Chelsea fans. I hope to play at Stamford Bridge very soon," said Thiago Silva to the club's media.

The Chelsea sports director, Marina Granovskaia, affirmed that "a world-class player" is joining the club. "Having performed at the highest level for many years, we have no doubt that his experience and quality will complement the many talents we already have here." "Thiago will fit in excellently and we hope he can add new trophies to his impressive record," she added.

Captain of Milan, Paris Saint-Germain, or the Brazilian national team - with whom he won the title of the last Copa America at Maracanã - Thiago Silva has conquered seven French leagues in the eight seasons he played for PSG.
