Chelsea defender Thiago Silva has been such a key player for the Blues this season.
Thiago Silva helped Chelsea to make it to the Carabao Cup final after they beat Middlesbrough 6-1 yesterday.
However, speaking to Hayters TV after the game, the centre-back hinted that this is his last season at Stamford Bridge.
Silva joined Chelsea from Paris Saint-Germain back in 2020.
Since joining the club, the Brazilian has gone on to make over 140 appearance in blue and win the Champions League.
Thiago Silva hints at Chelsea exit
Silva was speaking about his great relationship with Chelsea supporters and admitted that he thinks his time with them is coming to an end.
On his rapport with the Stamford Bridge faithful, the 39-year-old said: “It’s a source of great pride. Yes, in such a short time I managed to conquer them in such a passionate way we can say. It was very, very fast and I am happy every time I play here.
“It’s a different and special emotion and I know with each game that ends, I have the feeling it’s ending, so that makes me a little sad.”
Thiago Silva’s time with Chelsea fans coming to an end?
As things stand, it looks like Silva and Chelsea are going to go their separate ways at the end of the season.
His £110,000-a-week contract (Spotrac) expires then and there does not appear to be any talks taking place over a new one.
Losing Silva will be a blow, with his team-mate Axel Disasi describing him as a “very great player”. For whatever reason, though, it seems that the club are happy to take such a hit.
Why? We really do not know. Perhaps it is because the Brazil international is not getting any younger. But with Silva having proven that he is still able to do a job this season, it honestly makes little sense letting him go.
