Thiago Silva, 37, ended his commitment to Chelsea at the end of the season and will now continue one more year in the team led by Thomas Tuchel, where he arrived at the beginning of last year after eight years at Paris Saint Germain.
The Brazilian defender has already played twenty-two games with the blues so far this year.

“We hope that his influence will continue as he pursues titles this season and next and maintains the qualities that have led him to have such a great impact for us on and off the pitch,” added the London club’s board of directors.
For his part, the footballer stressed that “playing with Chelsea is a real pleasure. I never thought I would play for three years here at this great club, so I’m very happy to stay one more season,” he said.
