Chelsea’s key player Thiago Silva talks about his plans after this season.
Thiago Silva, whose contract with Chelsea expires at the end of the current campaign, has not ruled out returning to Fluminense, as reports have indicated.
Under Mauricio Pochettino, the 39-year-old veteran has started every one of Chelsea’s eight Premier League games this season.
He signed a deal in February of this year that will keep him at Stamford Bridge until the end of the current campaign.
The legendary center back’s future plans are unknown, yet there have been whispers that he may play for a former squad.
The 113-cap Brazilian international began his childhood career at Fluminense. He left, came back in 2007, and relocated to AC Milan the next two years.
Although he hasn’t said as much as yet, he might decide to return for a longer tenure at the Rio de Janeiro club.
“This relationship has been going on for a while, right?” Fluminense’s Thiago Silva said to Globo’s Esporte Espetacular. However, given that there has already been some controversy recently, I would prefer to say nothing for the time being.
“I have kids and a family now.” As a result, we must take this into account as well. Finding the things that bring us happiness is essential to finishing this beautiful and prosperous career that I feel I have earned.
Former Chelsea defender William Gallas stated in a recent interview that he believes the Brazilian is behaving as if this is his last season in the Premier League and with the Blues.
Thiago Silva “knows that it is going to be a very difficult season for him,” according to Gallas’ September statement.
He knows this is his last season, but he doesn’t get the support he needs.
Usually, 38-year-old Thiago Silva would appeal to the younger players to encourage him and help him with their skill.
Right now, Chelsea is devoid of that attribute. It seems that he is in charge of everything that is behind him. The game against Bournemouth finished in a scoreless draw, and during that game, he was trying to explain to the midfield where they need to move when he has the ball. That is not supposed to be happening.
