41-year-old Brazilian defender returns to Dragons 21 years later, with option for extra year.

Thiago Silva has joined FC Porto on a free transfer. The 41-year-old Brazilian centre-back signed a contract until June 2026, with an option for one more year.

This is a nostalgic return for Silva, who briefly played for Porto’s B team in 2004-05. With 31 club trophies including the Champions League, he brings elite leadership to the league leaders.

Porto fans are excited, “O Monstro” is back. His debut is expected in January.
