Chelsea defender Thiago Silva may be frequently linked to a return to Fluminense, but it seems there’s no chance this move will happen this month.
Trivela today features a story explaining that with the Rio de Janeiro club about to sell Nino, they’re going after a new centre-back in the market.
Silva has always been a target, but it’s claimed they won’t even try his signing for this occasion, because in their most recent talks, the player claimed he’ll ‘fulfil his contract’ with Chelsea.
There’s no guarantee that he’ll be leaving the Blues at the end of the season either, as it’s claimed that he’s waiting for the Blues to ‘decide his future’.
Fluminense are ‘keeping in touch’ with him to see what happens in the summer, as his contract with Chelsea could expire and he could get signed for free.
Silva continues to be an important player for the Blues, though, with 23 appearances this season, and it may be no surprise if a new contract offer shows up before the end of the season.
