New signing hits out at former club after sealing summer Chelsea move

Thiago Silva has hit out at PSG over the manner in which he left the club and joined Chelsea.

Regarded as one of the finest leaders in the game, Silva shocked many at the back end of last season after it emerged that he could be coming to the Premier League after failing to agree a new contract at the club.

But now, Silva has opened up and laid into PSG for the way that he was told that there would not be any new contract in the summer, he was quoted on the SUN: “It was a situation that p***ed me off,” he told France Football, “I really didn’t like the way it was conducted.

“Even if there was containment, things should have been done differently.

“I was in Brazil, in quarantine, when Leonardo called me to tell me that because of the pandemic and the difficulties… (He pauses.) No, first, he asked me if I was OK to continue two more months in order to play a possible Final 8.

“I told him I did. But he told me that the club would not go beyond these two months. It would be two months and nothing else. It should have been done differently…

“My whole career at PSG, I gave the maximum, I never cheated. Is it like three matches in the Final 8 changed everything?

“And everything I’d achieved in those eight years, it didn’t matter anymore? It is not consistent.

“Leo did this clumsily and hastily. Not just with me, by the way. I also think of Cavani who is the top scorer in the history of PSG. I say this so that the club will progress and not make any more mistakes in the future.”
