Thiago Silva is pushing to abandon Chelsea and move back to his native Brazil this summer, it has been claimed.
Silva has been a hugely important player for Chelsea since joining the club from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2020. The 38-year-old has been a mainstay in central defence and was rewarded with a one-year contract extension back in February.
That deal, which was signed before Graham Potter’s departure, keeps him at the club until June 2024. However, the tumultuous events at Stamford Bridge this season appear to have worn Silva down and he is reportedly regretting his decision to commit his future to the club.
