Thiago Silva has left his options open as he is linked with a return to Fluminense when his Chelsea contract expires at the end of the season.
Still going strong at 39 years old, the veteran has started all eight of Chelsea’s Premier League games under Mauricio Pochettino so far this season.
He signed his current contract in February this year, which keeps him at Stamford Bridge until the end of the current campaign.
What will come next for the legendary centre-back beyond that is not yet clear, although there has been talk that he could return to a former club.
