Fluminense lives a great present, since Marcelo’s return they have been all smiles for the Rio de Janeiro team. On the pitch, he emerged champion of the Carioca Championship, beating Flamengo in the final, won the two Copa Libertadores games he played and started the Brasileirão on the right foot. Off the field, the fans respond and the return of the left back has only reunited more people with the club.
This is why its president, Mário Bittencourt, does not want the good news to stop and has a dream for this to continue. That dream is called Thiago Silva. The defender who emerged from Fluminense has a contract with Chelsea for another year but hopes are intact for Bittencourt: “He has a contract until 2024, at this precise moment there is nothing. But if we notice that he intends to change teams, we’ll try,” he said in an interview with the SporTV channel.

The president compared the changing situation with that of Marcelo: “For example, the original idea was that Marcelo would come in the middle of the year. but things changed, he terminated his contract before and there was the possibility,” said Bittencourt. This is why both the president and the fans do not lose hope that the 38-year-old defender may end up arriving at the club a little earlier than expected.
Currently, the Brazilian central defender is one of the leaders both on and off the field of an English team that is going through difficult times at a sporting level. In turn, they still have to determine if Frank Lampard remains in the position or they will seek to bring another manager, which appears more likely.
