EKO HOT BLOG reports that Premier League club Chelsea is reportedly prepared to allow veteran center-back Thiago Silva to leave Stamford Bridge if he chooses to return to Brazil during the upcoming summer transfer window.

Thiago Silva, 38, has been a pivotal figure for Chelsea since joining the Blues on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain in 2020. His experience and defensive prowess have significantly contributed to the club’s success during his tenure.

However, while Chelsea is keen on retaining Silva beyond the current season, the club is willing to respect his wishes if he expresses a desire to depart.

According to The Telegraph, should the center-back decide to leave for Brazil, Chelsea will not stand in his way and will allow him to pursue a move back to Fluminense.

Thiago Silva shares a deep emotional connection with Fluminense, as the Brazilian club provided him with a lifeline in 2006.

At that time, he had just recovered from a career-threatening bout of tuberculosis, and Fluminense offered him a loan move, kickstarting his journey to becoming one of the world’s most respected defenders.

The potential return to Fluminense would not only allow Silva to reunite with his former club but also provide him with an opportunity to give back and contribute to the development of Brazilian football.

As the summer transfer window approaches, the decision lies in the hands of Thiago Silva, who will need to weigh his options and consider his future.

Meanwhile, Chelsea will continue their preparations for the next season, aiming to strengthen their squad and maintain their competitive edge in domestic and European competitions.
