Thiago Silva Net Worth - How Rich is the Brazilian Star?

Thiago Silva has been making an immediate impact following his summer move to Chelsea. Know details about his finances, net worth, and salary.

Virgil Van Dijk’s throne as the best defender in England was a threat as the former PSG skipper Thiago Silva made his transfer to London club Chelsea in late August 2020. The former Brazilian skipper took a lot of time to make his presence in the English Premier League, but the athlete is making an instant mark at the Blue camp. He has improved Frank Lampard’s team’s defense ever since playing for the side, getting a nomination at the league’s player of the month for October. 

Thiago Silva was just the missing piece in the jigsaw for Chelsea, who had furnished their attack with the signings of Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner. Despite the age of 36, the Brazilian had no intention of making retirement just yet, as he believed that he can still deliver top performances on the pitch. More time on the pitch for Silva is not just good for the football fans, but it is great for him as well since his net worth keeps increasing.
