– I’m a good friend of Thiago (Silva), I talk to him about various topics and not just about coming to Fluminense. Right now, we have nothing, but we have a huge desire for him to come home. From what we have heard, his contract with Chelsea ends in the middle of the year and he would not renew it. I believe that, in Brazil, his desire is to play for Fluminense. As soon as he is released at Chelsea, we will return to the charge. And he will help us in this very important year – said the tricolor president.

In addition to Mário Bittencourt, who also spoke about Thiago Silva’s possible return to Fluminense was the club’s idol and planning director, Fred. The former player stated, after the Libertadores draw held on the 18th, that “the doors are wide open” for the defender’s return, and reinforced that the signing is a dream for the team.

After renewing his contract with Chelsea at the end of the 2022-23 season, Thiago Silva has a contract until the middle of this year with the English club. A starter and standout last season, the Brazilian recently dealt with an injury and, since then, the team led by Mauricio Pochettino has lost ground. Therefore, at 39 years old, it seems likely that the defender will not continue with the Blues.
