Ex-Chelsea star Thiago Silva has refused to address rumors concerning his future at Chelsea.
When asked about reports that he may quit Chelsea this summer to return to Brazil, Thiago Silva has remained silent.
Silva has discussed his plans for the future, including a possible return to his former club Fluminense in Brazil. The defensive player turned 39 in September but claims he hasn’t decided where and when to retire from the sport.
THIS IS WHAT THEY SAID: “This relationship has been going on for a while, correct. But I’d rather stay mum right now since there’s been enough controversy enough,” he told Globo Esporte. I’ve settled down with a wife and started a family. So this is another consideration that needs to be made. To wrap off the lovely and great career I’ve had, which I did, I need to look at what will make us happy.
Silva’s contract at Stamford Bridge is set to expire at the end of the current campaign, but his future with the club is uncertain. Despite his advanced age, he continues to be a vital cog for Mauricio Pochettino and has started every Premier League game Chelsea has played this season.On Saturday, Silva will play for Chelsea again when they host Arsenal in the Premier League.
The “keys” to Chelsea defender’s resurgence according to his fans at home
The Catalan newspaper Sport featured one of their native sons in today’s edition.
Marc Cucurella’s journey from Barcelona and striker to Chelsea was a winding one that took him through the Basque Country, Brighton, and Getafe. It’s been a nightmare ever since he’s been here, yet the Blues have won their last three games with him in the lineup.
Fans of Chelsea, though, will likely tell you that the team was successful despite Cucurella rather than with him. However, Sport disagrees. After the heartbreak of his deadline-day transfer to Manchester United falling through, they report on the “keys” to the full back’s resurgence in recent weeks.
They mention the position shift and the “talks” with Mauricio Pochettino that defined his responsibilities.
We don’t share their optimism that now is the moment Cucurella’s fortunes will turn around. Down the right side, Reece James and Malo Gusto have returned to action. Although the absence of Ben Chilwell has opened up playing time for the Spaniard on the left flank, which was previously occupied by Ian Maatsen, the position is now firmly in the hands of Levi Colwill.
