Thiago Silva is set to bid farewell to Chelsea at the end of the season.<\/p>\n
Having arrived on a free transfer from Paris St-Germain in 2020, the Brazilian stalwart has etched his name in Chelsea’s history with 151 appearances for the Blues, contributing significantly to their triumphs, including the 2020-21 Champions League title.<\/p>\n
Expressing his profound sentiments, Silva said in an emotional video, “Chelsea means a lot to me. I came here with the intention of only staying for a year and it ended up being four years. It is already hard saying goodbye in the most normal of circumstances but when there is a mutual love, it\u2019s even harder. But once a Blue, always a Blue.”<\/p>\n
Amidst his 34 appearances across all competitions this season, his commitment and influence have been evident, with 25 starts in the Premier League alone.<\/p>\n
“I hope to leave the door open so that in the near future I can return, albeit in another role here,” he expressed, underlining his enduring affection for Chelsea and its enduring legacy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
