Thiago Silva planning to retire at PSG

Thiago Silva is hoping to remain at Paris Saint-Germain for the rest of his career.

The Brazilian arrived at the Parc des Princes from AC Milan in 2012 and has won every domestic trophy, including three Ligue 1 titles.

"I want to finish my career here," he said.

"I need to speak with the president [Nasser Al Khelaifi] to see if he agrees or not.

"I was very moved by the tribute tonight. Paris has become my second city after Rio [de Janeiro].

"I really like this city. I live here with my family, my son is growing up here. He has the right conditions for him to grow well in Europe – the city of Paris is great for kids."

PSG are on course for a fourth consecutive Ligue 1 title after a 4-1 win over Troyes on Saturday sent them 15 points clear at the Ligue 1 summit.
