Idol and dream of Fluminense fans, Thiago Silva said he expects to play two more years for Chelsea, in England, and postponed a possible return to Tricolor
At age 38, Thiago Silva reinforced that its future remains focused on chelsea. Therefore, the great dream of the fans of the Fluminenseit seems a little further away, but hopes have not died for the tricolors. In an interview with the English club’s official website, the defender said that his planning will continue for at least two more years in England.
The Brazilian showed that the good adaptation of the family in London has been essential to remain in the Blues. “The whole family fell in love with Chelsea. My sons, Isago and Iago, play for Chelsea. Isago has renewed his contract here for the next two seasons, which means we’re staying here for two years. We just hope there’s more!”said the defender.
Chelsea’s season was far below expectations, even more so with all the investment in signings. Finishing in 12th place, the Blues had a performance that disappointed the fans. However, Thiago Silva can celebrate something, as he was voted the team’s best player in 2022/2023, with 61% of the fans’ votes.
Featured in 27 of the Blues’ 38 games in Premier League and in eight of the 10 clashes for the Champions League, Thiago Silva lamented the negative results of the season, but was grateful for the recognition he has been receiving at the club. In September this year, the Brazilian will turn 39 and still has a contract with Chelsea until June 2024.
Fluminense, the defender’s training club, has shown the desire to count on the player this season. However, living a great individual phase and adapted to English football, Thiago Silva made it clear that he will only leave Chelsea if the club wants him to leave. Therefore, the expectation is that a possible return to Brazil will only happen after the end of the bond.
