Thiago Silva has confirmed talks with Chelsea over a new contract are advancing. The 38-year-old is set to leave Stamford Bridge at the end of the season once his deal expires.
He's featured 18 times for the Blues in the Premier League this season and has remained an integral feature in the side. Despite the Brazil international's impressive displays, the west Londoners have struggled to keep the ball out of their net for much of the campaign.
Chelsea's performances have improved following the arrival of Benoit Badiashile in January and, as Silva begins to form a promising relationship with the 21-year-old, it's in the club's best interest to hold onto the veteran defender. As Graham Potter builds a young side, the Brazilian will be central to the Blues' project as he continues to act as a beacon of guidance on and off the pitch.
