# Everton: Fans react to transfer update on Thiago Silva as he is offered deal

**Many Everton fans have been reacting to a transfer update on Thiago Silva as [Duncan Castles](https://twitter.com/DuncanCastles) (via [The Gwladys Street](https://twitter.com/TheGwladysSt/status/1273337873274679296)) has claimed that the Merseyside club have offered the Paris Saint Germain man a deal of two years worth £83,000 per week.**

However, as per the journalist, the extension of a second year can only be triggered should the central defender make up to 25 appearances within his first season at Goodison Park.

Comparing the 35-year old’s stats to Mason Holgate, Michael Keane and Yerry Mina in their respective domestic leagues so far in the 2019/20 season, the Brazilian international has averaged more blocks and less fouls per game, whilst he is also dribbled past the least, according to [Whoscored](https://www.whoscored.com/PlayerComparison).

Not only has Silva demonstrated his defensive qualities on the pitch, as he also averages more passes at the highest success rate, as per the [website](https://www.whoscored.com/PlayerComparison).

His age and lack of experience in English football may be a question, but Silva may be a steal on a free transfer and relatively low wages if he can still demonstrate his quality and leadership for the Toffees.

These EFC supporters reacted to the update on Twitter:

> Figure I had in mind on last tweet. In Carlo I trust. £8m over 2 years including the override is brilliant. NSNO. Everton = El Selecao.

> Forget whatever the cost is, we need someone like him and players like him don’t come around, available and willing to come to a team ‘below top tier’ very often, most will play top tier then return to a boybood/home country V club or head to MLS/A League, this is a great chance!

> He’s on a free so they will give him a decent signing on fee to equal out the drop in wages
