The Paris Saint-Germain team officially announced that defender Thiago Silva has extended his contract until 2018.
The 28-year-old Brazilian was rumored to be moving to Barcelona this summer, but decided to stay in the ranks of the French champions.
Last summer, the footballer, who moved from Milan to PSG for 42 million euros, immediately earned the trust of the club's leaders and was appointed team captain.
Thiago Silva played only 22 matches in the Ligue 1 championship last season, as he was troubled by injuries.
This summer, the Brazilian also triumphed with the national team in the Confederations Cup tournament, which took place in the footballer's homeland.
Throughout his illustrious career, the footballer has played for Porto, Moscow's Dynamo, Milan, Fluminense, and less famous Brazilian clubs.
