A player is planning to return to Chelsea and is already taking steps to help such a move come to fruition, according to reports today.
It’s been a big day for Chelsea news already with some big breaking news coming out earlier on today.
Sources: Chelsea make contact with reps of new striker as deal for the summer progresses!
That news bought tears to the eyes of many Chelsea fans, with fan favourite Thiago Silva confirming that he will be leaving the club at the end of this season when his current contract runs out.
Silva has been at the club for four years now and helped them win the Champions League back in 2021 under Thomas Tuchel.
It will be a sad day when he hopefully manages to step foot out on the Stamford Bridge turf one last time, but it might not be the end of the story between Chelsea and Silva.
That’s right, he will be back! Silva has already confirmed that he plans to return to Chelsea one day and this is not goodbye.
And that has been backed up by Fabrizio Romano, who reports Silva plans to return to Chelsea one day in non-playing role to be part of the club. He loves Chelsea and London, and it’s the same for his family and his kids, who are in the Academy at Chelsea. Silva had an important proposal from abroad in January but he rejected to help Chelsea until the end.
And according to Nizaar Kinsella of The Evening Standard, Silva is already taking steps to get prepared for the non-playing role that he wants to start one day fairly soon.
He says Silva is doing his UEFA B Coaching Licence and Pochettino used him on numerous occasions this season to communicate with his young squad.
It’s going to be an emotional moment when Silva leads the Chelsea team out for the last game of the season in his final appearance for the club.
