Thiago Silva to stay in the Premier League? Chelsea hero receives offers from ‘three London teams’ after emotional exit announcement as Fluminense transfer thrown into doubt
Thiago Silva has reportedly received offers from three London-based teams following his announcement of his departure from Chelsea at the end of the season.
Confirming his emotional farewell to Chelsea as his contract expires, Thiago Silva had been expected to return to his homeland with a verbal agreement to join Fluminense on a free transfer. However, new offers from London clubs have added a twist to his decision-making process, as reported by TNT Sports Brasil.
Remaining in London holds allure for Thiago Silva and his family, especially considering his strong sentiment towards Chelsea, a club he has expressed means a lot to him and where he envisions returning in the future. Despite his potential move, his wife and children are set to stay in the capital, underscoring their attachment to the city.
However, whether Thiago Silva can envision himself playing for another Premier League club remains uncertain, given his deep connection to Chelsea during his four-year tenure at Stamford Bridge.
Having made 151 appearances and clinched three trophies during his time at Chelsea, including the 2020–21 Champions League, Thiago Silva’s departure marks the end of a successful era.
Injury concerns may have prematurely concluded Thiago Silva’s Chelsea journey, as he was forced off the field during the recent match against Aston Villa. His fitness for the team’s remaining Premier League fixtures against Tottenham, West Ham, Nottingham Forest, Brighton, and Bournemouth remains uncertain.
