Thiago Silva's wife Isabelle has revealed how the centre-back's family has reacted to the transfer to Chelsea.
"Everyone is very excited about the move," Belle told UOL. "Chelsea are a club the boys have always liked. Before we even considered going, they asked, 'Dad, why don’t you play for Chelsea?' And now that they are growing up and understanding football well, this interaction is very good.
"The dream of living in England and the desire to live in a country where we could master English weighed on our decision…
"As Thiago intends to continue working in football after his career as a player, learning English will make a big difference for him. It was a decision taken together, but of course, always thinking about what is best for him."
Thiago Silva joined Chelsea on a free transfer following the expiry of his contract with PSG. The Brazilian left the French side after leading them to 23 major trophies in 8 years, including a domestic treble in 2019/20 at the age of 35.
