An idol as a player and now representing Fluminense as a director, Fred revealed constant contact between the president and defender Thiago Silva; look
The fans’ biggest dream Fluminense is currently counting on the return of Thiago Silva to the club for the mid-year window. The veteran is at the end of his contract with Chelsea, and the English press reports that there will be no new renewal, which further increases Tricolor’s expectations.
“Thiago Silva has been a dream of ours for a long time. President (Mário Bittencourt) speaks to him every week. He’s still under contract in England and we’re rooting for him. He’s a friend I have, I’m a big fan of Thiago’s character. He knows that, here, the doors are wide open. He has nothing (laughs). We have to be careful not to pressure him. We love Thiago and he loves Fluminense. This will inevitably happen at some point”, he commented to “ESPN”.
The defender’s contract with the Blues is only valid until the middle of this year, when the European season ends, and Nino’s departure to Zenit increased the need for replacement. Thiago, in turn, preferred to avoid any decision, stating that he “just wants to have fun” in his last months in European football.
Furthermore, Fred also commented and analyzed Fluminense’s group in the Libertadores, a competition in which the club is seeking its second consecutive championship in this edition. The former striker made it clear that there is no easy group, but the fact of not having to deal with altitude is a big positive point of the draw.
“There’s no easy group, but I, Fred, don’t like altitude. Not catching is a good start. Difficult group, with quality teams. All clubs with a Libertadores atmosphere, competitive clubs. It will be a first phase to prepare so that, God willing, we can reach the second championship”, he added.
