Thiago Silva announces departure from Chelsea at the end of the season
During the negotiations, Thiago Silva always made it clear to Fluminense that he would only discuss the possibility of a return after deciding to leave Chelsea. As the decision was made on the 29th, he is open to conversations. Tricolor is not alone in the move, as clubs in England and Saudi Arabia are also dreaming of signing him, but he is the favorite in the dispute. The information was initially released by journalist Aline Nastari.
President Mário Bittencourt centralized conversations with Thiago Silva and the matter is being treated with the same secrecy seen in negotiations with Marcelo due to its importance. The initial plan was to have him in January, but the defender kept his word with Chelsea and will fulfill his current contract with the English.
The good news is that Thiago Silva, for the first time, has been talking about a possible return with people close to him, whether his staff or friends. He did not say that he will return, but admitted conversations. Before, he preferred not to get into the subject.
It is not new that the expectation at Fluminense is for the return of Thiago Silva. In February last year, on the day that Flu announced the signing of Marcelo, Belle Silva, Thiago Silva’s wife, commented on a post by the left-back’s mother-in-law fueling a response: “We’ll meet next year”.
On May 8, 2023, Marcelo himself stirred up the crowd by posting a screenshot of a video call with Thiago Silva. And then he commented on a post by the defender’s wife: “The wall is down, Belle!”
Recently, Thiago Silva used social media to share a post in which he appears exchanging shirts with David Braz, Fluminense defender. He receives a tricolor uniform and presents his friend with a Chelsea one.
