Graham Potter has hailed Thiago Silva as an 'incredible' person and player but left the question of where the former AC Milan and PSG star's future may lie next term to Chelsea and the player.
Silva's contract is set to expire at the end of the season, with the defensive star now in his third Chelsea season and seemingly going from strength to strength at the age of 38. The Brazilian international finds himself in the same position as in 2021/22, when he had one year remaining on his deal before extending his contract in January for an extra season at Stamford Bridge.
The defensive star has played 90 minutes in each of Chelsea's matches so far this term, except against Wolves at the weekend where he was absent from the squad entirely after suffering from a heavy cold. Potter, however, explained he had recovered well ahead of the game, and despite his short time in charge, Silva appears to have left a significant impression on him.
