Is Thiago Silva saying goodbye to Chelsea?
“Every time I play here at Chelsea, it’s a special feeling. I know that with each game that ends, I have the feeling that everything is about to end, and that makes me feel a bit sad,” Silva said.
These words have been taken by many Chelsea fans as the beginning of the end, as this is the first time the center-back suggests he’s considering the idea that his tenure at Stamford Bridge could be over.
In Brazil, Fluminense takes note of these comments, as the club’s president has already stated they will try and convince him to return. However, everything indicates that Thiago will not make a final decision until his contract expiration date gets closer.
Will this be Thiago Silva’s last season in Europe? The answer is uncertain, but what is clear is that we must enjoy this living legend of Brazilian football who, at 39, continues to be prominent in the world’s most important league competition.
