Thiago Silva will leave Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) on a free transfer when his current deal expires this summer, reports L’Equipe.
Silva, who turns 36 in September, has spent the last eight years at PSG after completing a reported €42m transfer from AC Milan in 2012.
Widely regarded as one of the best centre-backs in Europe during that time, Silva has been informed he is no longer required by PSG beyond this season.

The French Ligue 1 season has already finished after it was decided to curtail the campaign in light of the Coronavirus pandemic.
With the Champions League set to conclude in August, Silva will sign a mini-extension with PSG to help them finish their European campaign before leaving on a free.
Yo @LFC sign Thiago Silva on a free (you must have money for that) and sell Lovren. I'm pleading #LFC

Certainly, the experienced defender still boasts plenty of quality despite entering the twilight stages of his career. He may be a decent signing on a 12-month contract, or even over the next couple of seasons.

Liverpool boast four centre-backs in Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Joel Matip and Dejan Lovren – though the latter is set to enter the final year of his contract, and has been criticised following his display in the 3-0 loss to Watford.

Liverpool supporters reacted to the reports surrounding Silva, and many want Jurgen Klopp to consider a move for the £240,000-a-week (Foot Mercato) star.
Anaedoonline.com early reported Thiago Silva would welcome the opportunity to continue his time with Paris Saint-Germain, according to the defender’s wife.
The Brazil international is out of contract at the end of the 2019-20 season and might have played his last Ligue 1 game for the club, with the top-flight campaign cancelled due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Silva moved to the French capital in 2012 and has won seven league titles with PSG, although he has been unable to help the big-spending club progress beyond the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
