With Thiago Silva still to agree to a contract extension with Chelsea, there are some clubs watching his situation.
One of them are Fluminense, where he played at the start of his career, and are waiting for him to have his final years as a footballer there.
As club president Mario Bittencourt held a press conference this week, he was asked about the Chelsea player, and made it clear there’s no decision on his future for now.
“We are first waiting for his decision there with Chelsea, we don’t know if he will renew there or not,” said Mario Bittencourt (via Lance).
“We are waiting for this news, after that we will or not start a conversation with him to make him return to Fluminense.”
Thiago Silva’s contract with Chelsea expires at the end of the season, and despite his huge importance for the Blues’ defence, there’s not yet a decision regarding his future at the club.
Having joined them on a free move from Paris Saint Germain in 2020, the Brazilian already has 105 appearances for the club, having shown some high-level form even with his advanced age.
Despite his love for Fluminense, it’s a little hard to imagine him returning to Brazil in case Chelsea continue to offer him a chance to play in the best tournaments in the world.
