“When his contract ends” – Club president on Chelsea star’s situation, depends entirely on player
Fluminense remains hopeful of securing the signing of Thiago Silva from Chelsea, and this topic was revisited over the weekend during an interview with club president Mario Bittencourt on ESPN Brasil’s Bola da Vez.
When asked whether Thiago Silva would join Fluminense after departing from Chelsea, Bittencourt emphasized that the decision is primarily in the player’s hands. He stated, “It depends much more on him than on us, but he said that when his contract ends there, he will return home. I hope he comes back.”
The Thiago Silva and Fluminense saga has persisted for several years, with the player consistently expressing his desire to return to the club at the twilight of his career. However, his continued strong performances in European football led Chelsea to extend his contract earlier this year.
Thiago Silva’s current agreement with Chelsea is set to expire at the end of the season, so it’s likely that these rumors will resurface in a few months. Nevertheless, as the defender is turning 39 this month, time may be running out for him to make a return to Fluminense.
