Chelsea confirms Thiago Silva has extended contract until 2024

Chelsea has announced that veteran Brazilian defender, Thiago Silva, has signed a new contract that runs until 2024.

The 38-year-old defender who has become a key player in the team since arriving at Stamford Bridge in 2020, has shown himself to be evergreen and has arguably been the Blues’ most consistent performer throughout the tenures of both Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter.

Speaking to Chelsea’s website after signing the new contract, Silva said;

“I am honestly so happy to continue my career with the Blues.

“When I signed my first contract here, it was to just do one year. Now it is already the fourth! I could not have imagined that, but really it is a very special moment for me to sign and stay at Chelsea.”
