Chelsea Icon Advocates for Thiago Silva’s Return

Chelsea great John Terry is urging the club to bring back Thiago Silva as the Brazilian star considers a return to England.

Silva Set to Depart from Fluminense

Thiago Silva plans to leave Fluminense during the upcoming January transfer window in order to reunite with his family in England. His sons, Isago and Iago, are currently part of Chelsea’s youth academy, making the move especially appealing for the seasoned defender.

Silva initially joined Chelsea on a free transfer in 2020 and quickly became a fan favorite, amassing 155 appearances across all competitions in his role as a crucial centre-back.

Terry Supports Silva’s Return to Chelsea

In a recent discussion on TikTok, John Terry emphasized the potential benefits of re-signing Silva, which would allow the 41-year-old to stay closer to his two sons and family residing in London.

“Thiago Silva is available. Listen to me—a player with immense experience and a strong connection to our club.”

“His two children are part of our academy, and there’s no doubt he will return to London to be with his family for Christmas.”

“I would be thrilled to see him back with us, playing among these players.”

“While I’m not suggesting he needs to start every match, just having someone of his caliber around can be invaluable.”

“So, Thiago Silva returning to Chelsea would be a tremendous source of joy for everyone, myself included. Just putting that idea out there—Thiago, we cherish you.”

Silva’s Aspirations for His Sons at Chelsea

During his time at Chelsea, Silva expressed his heartfelt desire to see his children play for the club professionally.

“It would be a dream for me to witness them play at Chelsea. I truly enjoy watching their progress and do my utmost to support them.”

“I love seeing my children here, and my wife is always present, eager to attend every away match. She recognizes that my career has a limited timeframe, so she wants to savor these last years.”

“From the moment I arrived, it felt like a magical connection, and I continue to take great pride in being part of this club.”
