According to reports from TouchlineX, the former Chelsea centre-back opted to end his deal in Brazil as he seeks to move closer to his family in Europe. Silva is understood to be prioritising a European move as a free agent, ahead of potential offers from the Middle East or Major League Soccer.
The 41-year-old is eager to begin a new chapter in his career as he prepares for what could be his final international campaign at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. His availability as a free agent is expected to attract interest when the winter transfer window opens on January 1.
