Thiago Silva was pretty emotional after the loss in the FA Cup semi-final on Saturday.
Chelsea are planning to leave Thiago Silva at the end of the season and his future will be decided this summer. The Blues fans will soon discover his fate at Stamford Bridge.
The Brazilian has made his decision that he will stay or not. Silva joined the Blues from PSG on a free transfer in 2020 and was a vital member of the side that won the Champions League in 2021. He has also won the Club World Cup with Chelsea.
Silva has been one of the finest defenders and his leadership qualities helped Chelsea a lot. He was pretty emotional after the loss in the FA Cup semi-final on Saturday.
FA Cup was his final opportunity to win the silverware for Chelsea. His contract will expire in June. Ahead of the match, Silva’s wife shared pictures of herself and her family preparing to watch from the Wembley stands on her Instagram story.
In one post, holding a Chelsea scarf with Silva’s name, she wrote: “It’s the last dance at Wembley.”
Silva also replied when he was asked about his departure (via The Standard): “You’ll find out in the next few days. I’d rather not comment now, especially after a loss.
“I’m sad about the result, but sooner or later, the news will come out. I do have a decision made in my mind, but it’s not the moment to share it.
“My four years here were very good. Not that I didn’t believe in myself, but with my age and the intensity of this league…it’s rare to see players in a high level at 39.
“I don’t like to talk about myself, but you can see this. Today, I was ready to play the extra time. I can see I have some years in me to keep enjoying football.”
