Fluminense’s sporting director Fred proved his firm faith that Thiago should come back home, and Silva’s return was even described as an “ideal” for his team. At the moment, Thiago Silva is aged 39 and he will finish his spell at Chelsea unless he chooses the option of signing up for a new contract at Stamford Bridge.

In short, Pochettino has demonstrated a slow resolve in regularly using the experienced Brazilian, Silva, despite his injury issues and fitness difficulties.
Some of the recent news talks about the blue side paying close attention to the possibility of signing Leny Yoro from Lille. Along with that, they are also being watched closely by Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid as two other clubs have noticed his talents. Another of the names that Chelsea is linked with is Ousmane Diomande from Sporting CP and Jean-Clair Todibo from OGC Nice.
