Thiago Silva is looking to head out of Chelsea after a tumultuous season and desires a return to boyhood club Fluminense.
The Brazilian centre-back has been an integral figure in Chelsea’s defence since his move to London in the summer of 2020 from Paris Saint-Germain.
Such has been his influence that the defender was awarded a one-year extension back in February, which keeps him contracted until June 2024.
According to Globo Esporte, Thiago Silva regrets his decision to extend his stay at Stamford Bridge and wants to return to Fluminense in Brazil in the summer.
The Serie A outfit have been making the right moves in the market and recently signed former Real Madrid left-back Marcelo.
Silva shares a close bond with his erstwhile international teammate and is eager to play one more season at his boyhood club, where he started his career back in 2007 before hanging up his boots.
