At the end of his contract next June, the 39-year-old Brazilian defender will leave the London club that marked the last four years of his career.
Chelsea fans have been wondering about the future of Thiago Silva for several months. At 39 years old, the Brazilian defender reaches the end of his contract next June and his renewal was uncertain. In a video published by the London club this past Monday, the main party stopped the suspicion, but not without feeling. In fact, Thiago Silva could not hold back his tears when talking about his departure from Chelsea.

After a long career in Europe that saw him go through AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain, Thiago Silva joined Chelsea in the summer of 2020. Despite his advanced age, he quickly established himself as the captain of the heart of the Blues defence. Under the guidance of Thomas Tuchel, he was an integral part of last year’s Champions League crown. However, at the end of his career, he knew that his adventure in London would soon come to an end.
Four years, countless memories.

In the video published by Chelsea, we find that Thiago Silva is moved to tears. He explains that his first intention was to stay in England for a season, but his experience turned into an amazing four-year stay. He says he is proud to be part of the “Chelsea family” and grateful to the club for the welcome he has received. If the supporters were hoping to see him extend his adventure, the Brazilian would have to prove difficult on his next departure.
