Thiago Silva hits out at PSG for the 'upsetting' lack of respect in his exit from the French giants after eight trophy laden years... and reveals how Chelsea swept in to trump them from making a last-ditch offer to keep him

Thiago Silva has lifted the lid on his move from Paris Saint-Germain to Chelsea, revealing his dismay at how his exit from the French giants was handled.

The Brazilian defender was informed by director Leonardo that his contract would not be extended beyond the 2019-20 season, except for a three-month deal to cover the delay enforced by the Covid-19 outbreak.

Silva, now 36, said he felt he deserved more of a send-off after enjoying eight trophy-laden years in France and was surprised that his time at the club, as well as Edinson Cavani's, was not celebrated more upon their departure.
