Silva said in a press conference: “I hope I can do the same thing that Paolo Maldini did at Milan, playing until he was 40 or 41 years old.

“That’s my plan for the immediate future. I have prepared myself for that and now at 36 years old I continue to play at a high level and that gives me a great deal of pride.

“From this moment on I have to live each season and each competition, play very carefully because my physique is no longer the same as it was two or three years ago and the recovery from one game to another takes longer.”

Raphael Varane Will Give His Answer To Chelsea After Holiday

Raphael Varane is yet to respond to Chelsea and Manchester United’s advances.

Both clubs have expressed serious interest in prizing him away from Real Madrid.

Varane has clearly stated that he will decide once he has recovered from France’s early exit from the Euros. Les Bleues suffered a defeat at the hands of Switzerland in their first knockout round, ending their hopes of claiming both world and European titles.

Varane underwent a mixed 2020/21 campaign overall. He has decided to sit down with new boss, Carlo Ancelotti before making his decision. Currently, he is on a three-week holiday after a grueling campaign. Madrid is bound to push him soon regarding his future.

Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel has been eyeing quite a few centre-back options that he can add to his squad for next season. The current crop has delivered results in the form of a Champions League trophy but are not meant to be kept on long-term.

Thiago Silva is expected to stay at West London for one more season before calling it quits. Varane would then be necessary to lead the backline. He is still only 28, with bags of experience and an entire room full of trophies to show for.

Marcos Alonso Frustrated With Playing Time | Barcelona Want Him

Marcos Alonso has grown frustrated with his playing time at Chelsea.

That was bound to happen after Chelsea splashed £50m on Ben Chilwell last summer.

Unfortunately, Alonso saw his minutes diminish even more with Emerson Palmieri picked ahead of him early on. Thomas Tuchel still rotated the Spaniard in more frequently and allowed him to be a part of their Champions League success.

“This season I didn’t play as much as I wanted,” the defender told Chelsea TV.

“But when Thomas came, I had my chances and played some good games.

“I was happy to be back helping the team on the pitch.

“The hardest part is to be training every day, doing good in training, keeping fit, and seeing you don’t get a lot of minutes. It’s tough.

“But [I’m] happy things change after a while, and that’s what keeps [me going] during the tough times.”

Alonso is wanted by clubs in Italy and Spain. Barcelona reportedly hold an interest in the veteran wing-back along with Inter Milan. Junior Firpo is lining up to leave Camp Nou this summer and Alonso has been picked as a potential replacement.

Tammy Abraham set to leave Chelsea in the next few days — Bildbyran

Tammy Abraham will leave Stamford Bridge this summer.

The Chelsea academy graduate has not been a regular under Thomas Tuchel last season and has been linked with a return to Aston Villa this summer.

The German coach won’t mind if Abraham exits Stamford Bridge this transfer window.

“I don’t think he’s the top scorer since I arrived,” Tuchel said of the 23-year-old back in April. “I can only judge what I see. I saw a bright young man in front of me. I saw a guy who is self-confident, who has a lot of talent.

“But it cannot be that in a period of such good results that suddenly the guys who don’t play are the winners. This is not logical to me. He was for some weeks not available, so is it now the moment to do crazy stuff and try things?

“If you just look at the data, you will say: ‘OK, he’s the top scorer.’ If you look at the data since we are here, it will maybe tell you a different story.

“Tammy had a bit of a rough time. He was twice substituted for tactical reasons at half-time. He could not have the impact he demands from himself and we wish from him.”

Billy Gilmour Set For Norwich City Medical Ahead Of Loan Move

Chelsea are about to send Billy Gilmour on loan to Norwich City.

According to EDP, the Scotland international is set to undergo his medical soon with the newly-promoted Canaries.

Gilmour found gametime hard to come by under Thomas Tuchel last season. But the teenage sensation showed early on under Frank Lamapard just how much potential he has. He was also greatly influential in Scotland’s group stage tie against England before COVID-19 halted his Euros aspirations.

Norwich City is the ideal destination for him to go and develop his game. The Canaries play a highly-energetic attacking breed of football under Daniel Farke. Gilmour will face much more competition back at Stamford Bridge than he will at Carrow Road. Tuchel already has N’Golo Kante, Jorginho and Matteo Kovacic with further plans of adding more talent.

Gilmour will instead, be afforded the space to fill up Olivier Skipp’s position, who returned to Tottenham Hotspur. He will finish his medicals with Norwich after his self-isolation period ends. Farke shares a working relationship with Tuchel back from their time at Borussia Dortmund. This will help in Chelsea monitoring Gilmour’s progress even better.

Jorginho Plays Down Talks Of Winning Balon d'Or

Chelsea midfielder Jorginho is being hyped up to receive the Balon d’Or this year.

As astonishing as that may sound, the 29-year-old has quietly enjoyed a stellar campaign for both club and country.

Now in the quarter-final rounds of the 2020 Euros, about to take on Belgium, Jorginho has been an integral part of Italy’s campaign in the summer tournament. He helped them through qualification and has been a regular presence in midfield in their dominant run to the top this year.

Jorginho was out of favour under Frank Lampard just last year and suddenly, he has become a star under Thomas Tuchel and Roberto Mancini. Italy teammate, Lorenzo Insigne stated that Jorginho deserved to be nominated for Balon d’Or.

“I don’t think about it,” Jorginho said during a press conference at Italy’s training base, Coverciano, via football.london.

“Everything that is happening is the consequence of hard work. My priority is the group and celebrating together with my teammates and friends. This is more beautiful than celebrating alone.”

Could it actually happen? Could we as fans actually see Jorginho lift the golden ball ahead of world beaters like Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, Erling Haaland or Robert Lewandowski? I assure you, nothing crazier would have happend in football, not even Neymar’s £200m transfer to PSG.

Tiémoué Bakayoko's agent confirms the midfielder's future at AC Milan — Bildbyran

Tiémoué Bakayoko could join AC Milan on loan in the summer.

The 26-year old midfielder has struggled at Chelsea since his arrival from Monaco in 2017 making only 43 appearances for the West London club.

Bakayoko who has enjoyed a wonderful spell at AC Milan in the past and wishes to rejoin Milan has just a year left on his Chelsea contract.

“Bakayoko had a wonderful experience at Milan, just as the Rossoneri club found a very serious player who left a good memory,” Busiello told Milan News.

“We had a meeting a few weeks ago with the Milan officials who are looking for a player in that position. This is a particular market, in which there’s a need to sell before buying. Beyond Bakayoko, I believe that many hits will be realised later because first the clubs have to place some players before taking others.

“It’s an idea, not so much Bakayoko, but Milan want to do something in that role. Baka left a good memory and he has a good memory of Milan. The Rossoneri have to do something in that position, so we had some normal talk that happens in these situations.”

Kai Havertz Laments Germany's Missed Opportunities After Euro Exit

Germany suffered a disappointing 2-0 defeat to England, confirming their exit from the Euros.

Kai Havertz started up top alongside Chelsea teammate, Timo Werner and Thomas Mueller.

England shotstopper, Jordan Pickford had an outstanding game at Wembley. He denied Havertz’s volleyed effort in the first half and then also stopped Werner’s close range shot. Mueller had a chance late on in the game to equalize but he struck the ball wide off the target.

“We had some chances after the goal against but we didn’t convert them,” Havertz said.

“A bitter evening. We are all in one boat. We are united. England don’t have a bad team, but you go out in the round of 16 it is disappointing, of course.”

Germany looked overall the passive side, allowing England to control possession and create attacks. Harry Kane and Raheem Sterling rounded up an inspiring win for The Three Lions with two tap-in goals.

Havertz individually performed decently in the tournament. He looked much more fluid in his creative role for Germany. He dropped in deep when required and was very sharp with his distribution. Hopefully, he will be able to replicate this form next season for Chelsea.

Aston Villa Lining Up Tammy Abraham Move After West Ham Drop Out

Tammy Abraham won’t be sold to any Premier League side unless they meet Chelsea’s demands.

Currently, such is the case with West Ham United.

The Blues have slapped on a £40m price tag on Abraham which is far too expensive for West Ham. The Hammers would ideally like to bring in someone in the region of £25-30m. Aston Villa seem to also hold an interest in Abraham.

The forward previously spent time at Villa Park, scoring 26 goals for them in 2018/19 while they were still in the Championship. Aston Villa is about to receive a huge boost in cash through the sale Jack Grealish.

If he were to leave for Manchester City, The Villans are tipped to bank over £90m. Dean Smith is bound to reinvest that in some sort of attacking reinforcement. Currently, they have only signed Emiliano Buendia who will likely take up Grealish’s spot. With Ollie Watkins capable of playing from the flanks, Abraham could the ideal man to start up top.

Thomas Tuchel has no intention of starting Abraham despite him being ChelseaTammy’s highest goalscorer last term. The Blues boss is currently looking at superstar additions like that of Erling Haaland or Harry Kane.
