Thiago Silva proved decisive in the arrival of his compatriot David Luiz at PSG. In an interview with Le Parisien, the defender of the Seleção has confirmed that chairman, Nasser El-Khelaïfi, had consulted him as part of the transfer of the former Chelsea defender.
“Yes, we talked about it. But it is the quality of David Luiz that spoke for him. Nasser knew him. David called me right after signing his contract to ask me some questions about Paris and the group,” said Silva.
“I told him that we were a great team, with great “boys.”
“We needed to buy a quality defender, but I do not forget the performance of Marquinhos. He represents the future of the club. He is young, already plays very well, with a strong personality. With David Luiz and Marquinhos we have the greatest defenders in the world. “explained Thiago Silva, who should return to the starting XI of PSG tonight against Apoel Nicosia in the Champions League.
