Chelsea are reportedly planning to hold talks with Thiago Silva overextending the defender’s stay at Stamford Bridge for a further year.
The 37-year-old has spent the past 15 months in West London
and is under contract until the end of the current campaign.
Silva has been linked with a move back
to Brazil with Fluminense to see out his career, but reporter Nicolo Schira
claims that Chelsea do not intend to let the centre-back leave.
Chelsea are said to be looking to further extend Silva’s
existing terms until the end of 2022-23, and the former Paris Saint-Germain
player is happy to stay on.
Brazil international Silva has featured 12 times for the
Blues in all competitions this season.
What Marina Granovskaia said
“When we brought Thiago Silva in last summer, we knew we
were adding a world-class player to the squad. Thiago has duly shown everyone
at Chelsea his immense quality throughout this season, and he has had a huge
influence on and off the pitch for us.
“We said when he signed that we hoped Thiago would add new
trophies to his impressive list of honours, and he has done just that with our
success in the Champions League this weekend. We now hope that he carries on in
exactly the same fashion in the coming year.”
