Thiago Silva set to return to Fluminense when Chelsea contract expires

Thiago Silva is set to rejoin his former club Fluminense on a two-year deal when his Chelsea contract expires at the end of the season.

The 39-year-old will return to the outfit with whom he spent three seasons between 2006-08, making 143 appearances, and has been given permission to join up with his new side prior to the expiry of his Stamford Bridge deal, which is up on July 1.

His departure comes after four years in west London during which he has played more than 150 games since signing on a free transfer from Paris St Germain and won the Champions League in 2021.

One last home game left for @tsilva3…
