Thiago Silva Ribas: A Brief Biography

Born as Thiago Emiliano da Silva on the 22nd of September, 1984, in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, he is a professional soccer player currently associated with the French side Paris Saint-Germain. During his career, he has won four Ligue 1 trophies and three Coupe de France titles, among other awards. His previous stints include playing for the Italian club A.C. Milan from 2009 to 2012 and for Fluminense from 2006 to 2008, along with various other teams.

Have you ever wondered about the wealth of Thiago Silva as of mid-2017? According to reliable sources, it has been estimated that Silva’s net worth is a staggering $45 million, while his yearly salary amounts to $17 million.

Silva’s professional journey commenced in his early teens when he joined the Campo Grande football school, which functioned as a feeder school for the Brazilian team Fluminense. His impressive skills caught the eye of Fluminense’s head coach, Maurinho, when he was just 14 years old, leading to him playing for Fluminense for the next two years. This was followed by joining the small Brazilian side Barcelona for the 2000-2001 season, before returning to Fluminense after several tryouts with other clubs.

He encountered challenges in the early phase of his career, struggling to secure a contract with notable teams, and consequently, played for RS Futebol and Juventude. Finally, in 2004, he was purchased by the European side Porto for $2.5 million. Unfortunately, he could only play for the Porto B squad, making 14 appearances and scoring five goals, despite not being a striker.

Following a season with Porto B, Silva was loaned to Dynamo Moscow, where his career faced further setbacks as he contracted tuberculosis, which momentarily threatened his soccer career. After spending six months in the hospital and contemplating retirement, he was convinced by his mother not to give up.

After recuperating, Silva returned to his native country and resumed playing for Fluminense. His form improved significantly, leading him to become one of the best defenders on his team and winning the Brasileirão Team of the Year award in 2008. His exceptional performances attracted attention from European teams, eventually resulting in his sale to Milan in December 2008 for €10 million. Despite being unable to participate in competitive matches until the 2009 season, he started solidifying his reputation through friendly games.

Silva remained with Milan until the end of the 2011-2012 season when he was transferred to the French team Paris Saint-Germain for €42 million. During his time in Milan, Silva secured the Serie A title in the 2010-2011 season and Supercoppa Italiana in 2011, and was named to the Serie A Team of the Year twice.

Continuing his success in Paris, he emerged as one of the finest defenders globally. He achieved four consecutive league trophies with the team, followed by three Coupe de France and four Coupe de la Ligue titles. Despite a brief interruption in their dominance in 2017, Silva’s outstanding performances led to a lucrative new contract with the club, significantly expanding his wealth.

He has also garnered numerous individual accolades, including being included in the Ligue 1 Team of the Year five times, as well as the UEFA Team of the Year and UEFA Champions League Team of the Group Stage three times each.

In addition to his successful club career, Silva has made significant contributions to the national team, participating in 63 games and achieving a bronze medal at the 2008 Olympics, a silver medal in the 2012 Olympics, and the FIFA Confederations Cup in 2013.

On the personal front, Thiago is married to Isabele da Silva, and the couple has two children.
