Thiago Silva Criticises PSG On Now They Treated Him & Cavani Over Transfers

The 36-year-old made his debut for Frank Lampard’s side against West Brom on Saturday after his contract expired at PSG.

But despite enduring a nightmare bow in the Premier League that led to him being subbed off, he still believes he has made the right choice in moving to the Blues.

Silva told France Football: “In truth, when I knew it was over with PSG, I always hoped for something big.

“At first, we were afraid that my age would count against me and directors would have negative prejudices.

“But I wanted to believe. I prayed that God would find me a project that lived up to my ambitions. He heard me because Chelsea are the best in England.”

Silva spent eight years at Parc des Princes and played for them in last month’s Champions League final defeat to Bayern Munich, even though he already knew he would not be offered a new deal.

The veteran admitted: “It’s a situation that annoyed me, I really didn’t like the way it was conducted.

“Even if there was a lockdown things could 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… no, actually first he called me to ask if I was okay to continue for two more months to compete in a possible Final Eight. I told him yes.

“But he told me the club wouldn’t go beyond those two months, it would be two months and nothing else. It should have been done differently.”

“I’m also thinking of Cavani who is the top scorer in the history of PSG. I’m saying this so the club progresses and doesn’t make these mistakes in the future.

PSG would later try to keep the experienced centre-half, but he had already agreed to go to Stamford Bridge, and he was furious over how his old team-mate Cavani had also been treated.
