Thiago Silva, the captain of Chelsea, has been contacted by a number of undisclosed Saudi clubs due to intense speculation on his future with the Blues.
According to Football London, Thiago Silva has been contacted by numerous clubs in Saudi Arabia about moving to the Middle East. The Brazilian defender has been a key component of Chelsea’s defense, and his depth of expertise is unmatched. Despite this, a number of unidentified Saudi clubs are attempting to contact Silva’s team and work out a deal to make the transfer happen.
Silva signed a one-year contract extension in February with the London-based club, but there is still massive speculation about his future. The report suggests that Chelsea want to keep the Brazilian veteran in London but won’t block a transfer if a suitable offer arrives. Furthermore, Saudi clubs offer a massive amount of money which could lure him to join Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo and other stars in Saudi.
The Blues have struggled this season and with Mauricio Pochettino being handed over the charge, the Argentine would have to make some harsh calls next summer. With Silva reaching the pinnacle of his career, it’s quite possible that he’ll be open to hearing offers from Saudi and make a switch from the Premier League.
With the report suggesting that the Blues would be open to letting Silva, the decision completely lies in the hands of the 38-year-old. Silva is currently focused on helping the Blues reconstruct for next season and also figuring out if he’s in Pochettino’s future plans.
