Speculations have been rife in recent weeks linking Chelsea defender, Thiago Silva, with a move away from the club. However, his wife, Belle Silva, has come out to clear the air on the rumours.
Belle, through an Instagram story, disclosed that her husband has no plans to leave Chelsea this summer. The post read, “We are happy here, we are staying”. This comment might put to rest rumours suggesting that the Brazilian centre-back could be on his way out of Stamford Bridge.
Thiago Silva joined Chelsea in 2020 from Paris Saint-Germain and was instrumental in helping the Blues secure a Champions League trophy in his debut season, thereby consolidating his reputation as one of Europe’s finest centre-backs. He recently signed a contract extension with Chelsea, keeping him at the club for another year.
There were reports that the Brazilian international was being eyed by Fluminense, a club in his home country. Nonetheless, with his wife’s Instagram post, it is evident that the player has no intention of leaving the London side anytime soon.
Chelsea fans have always appreciated Thiago Silva as a rock-solid defender whose presence adds stability to the team’s backline. His contribution to the team’s successful Champions League campaign last season will forever be remembered.
It is a relief for Chelsea fans that the veteran defender is set to stay with the club, and they can continue to relish his performances and experience in the upcoming season.
