As the Daily Mail reports, Thiago Silva is still part of Chelsea's main squad this season despite being 39 years old. The Brazilian centre-back has made 32 appearances in all competitions and scored four goals.
Thiago Silva's contract with Chelsea expires on June 30, 2024. There were rumors that the Blues wanted to use his services again, but in the end he didn't get a contract extension!
This means Thiago Silva will be leaving Chelsea on a free transfer this summer. Silva reportedly wants to return to his country and join his childhood club Fluminense.
Thiago Silva has been wearing the Chelsea jersey since summer 2020. At that time, the Blues recruited him from PSG on a free transfer.
Despite being old and having to adapt to the tough Premier League, Thiago Silva is actually capable of appearing tough. So far he has made 149 appearances in all competitions.
