Thiago Silva announced his departure from the “retired” team.
Brazilian defender Thiago Silva will leave Chelsea at the end of this season.
This was reported by the official website of the London club, publishing a touching message from the 39-year-old Brazilian .
Chelsea means a lot to me. I came here planning to spend just one year, but ended up staying for four. This club is important not only for me, but also for my family. My sons play for Chelsea, so I'm very proud to be part of the Chelsea family. I hope they can continue their careers here at a club that many players want to be part of.
I think I gave myself for four years. But unfortunately, everything has a beginning, middle and end. This doesn't mean it's the end. I hope to leave the door open so that I can return in at least a different role in the near future,” Silva said.
