Thiago Silva spent two years at Fluminense’s academy between 1998 and 2000 before moving elsewhere in Brazil.

Silva said: “Chelsea means a lot to me.
`My sons play for Chelsea so I’m very proud to be part of the Chelsea family – literally because my sons are here. I hope they continue their careers.
“I think in everything I’ve done here in the past four years, I’ve always given it my all.
“Obviously, when I started here, it was during the pandemic so there weren’t any fans in the stadium. But through social media, it became something very special.
`Saying goodbye under normal circumstances is difficult, but when you have feelings for each other, it is even more difficult. One day is Blue, forever is Blue.`
In 14 years of working in Europe, Thiago Silva has 30 big and small titles, which shows the undisputed class of the Brazilian defender.
