Veteran central defender Thiago Silva is expected to renew his terms with Chelsea beyond the next summer’s transfer window, according to reports from the Brazilian news outlet O Dia.
Silva’s current deal at Stamford Bridge is due to expire at the end of the season and Chelsea are understood to be hopeful of the former PSG man to sign an extension sooner rather than later.
These developments come in the aftermath of reports suggesting that a move back to his homeland could be on the cards for Silva with Fluminense holding talks with the player and his representatives.
Chelsea will be pushing for Silva to agree upon extended terms heading into the new campaign next year with Thomas Tuchel facing the daunting prospect of parting ways with his star defender Antonio Rudiger.
The Germany international’s prolonged contract standoff has sounded out that he remains on course to call it quits in the English capital with the likes of Real Madrid and Bayern Munich keeping close tabs on his situation.
