Silva Commits Future to Chelsea, extending Stay until 2024. Chelsea is delighted to announce that world-class defender Thiago Silva has signed a one-year new deal that will keep him with the team until the summer of 2024.
The 38-year-old Brazilian center-back has been a mainstay at the heart of the Blues’ defense since joining PSG in 2020, and his distinctive form has been a great asset to the club.
Behdad Eghbali and Todd Boehly, the club’s co-chairman and one of the club’s two controlling owners, have made the following statement
“Thiago’s decision to remain with Chelsea has been met with much joy. Through his extensive career with both club and country, he has demonstrated that he is a top-tier player on the international stage. His years of service, high standards of play, and ability to inspire others are invaluable to the success of our long-term goals. We are excited he has decided to stay with us for another year, and we hope to continue our success together.”
Thiago himself shared his excitement at the news:
“Really, I couldn’t be happier to keep playing for the Blues. When I originally started working here, my contract was for only a year. It’s the fourth already! That’s something I never would have predicted, but signing and continuing my tenure at Chelsea is a huge honor.”
The experienced defender has been integral to the Blues’ success in recent seasons. His vast experience and leadership qualities have been invaluable to the team, and his stay will undoubtedly bring more success to the club.
Chelsea fans will be delighted to have Thiago Silva at the club for at least another season and hope for more glory in the years to come.
