Thiago Silva has made a decision on his Chelsea future beyond the summer transfer window amid links with Fluminense.
According to a report by Trivela, Thiago Silva has made a defining decision on his future at Chelsea beyond the summer transfer window. The veteran Brazilian defender has entered the final three months of his contract at the West London club. However, he is ready to sign a new contract instead of rejoining his former club, Fluminense, if the Blues offer a deal.
Thiago Silva and his impact at Chelsea
Thiago Silva has been a top-class addition to the Chelsea backline despite arriving at Stamford Bridge in the twilight of his career. The 39-year-old is one of the best defenders of his generation, enjoying success in France and Italy while being a top-notch performer for his national side.
The veteran defender joined the West London club in a Bosman move in August 2020 after his contract with Paris Saint-Germain expired. However, the Brazilian centre-back has used his experience to good effect, often making the difference in the defensive third. Silva has turned out nearly 150 times thus far for Chelsea, chipping in with nine goals and three assists.
However, Silva’s future at Chelsea is uncertain, as he has entered the final three months of his contract. Recent reports have suggested that the Blues are not considering offering him a new deal. Meanwhile, widespread updates have pointed to Fluminense being eager to re-sign the player, who spent his formative years at the club.
Brazil return beckons?
Silva, who turned out 113 times for Brazil, has been in talks to rejoin Fluminense in the summer transfer window. However, the latest update will come as a blow for the Brazilian club, with the Chelsea mainstay ready to stay at the West London club beyond the summer transfer window.
The 39-year-old would prefer to sign a new contract with Chelsea instead of rejoining Fluminense in the summer transfer window. However, that eventuality hinges on the West London outfit’s openness to offer the experienced centre-back a new deal.
With Chelsea scouring the market for a centre-back, a new contract might not be on the cards for Thiago Silva. So, it will be interesting to see if he can remain at Stamford Bridge or if he returns to Fluminense.
