DEVASTATING NEWS: Fabrizio Romano has revealed the current news coming from Chelsea, Chelsea have already started to plan for the exit of Thiago Silva this summer as the Brazilian legend is not expected to sign a new deal at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea begin plans to replace major star this summer with 28-year-old flop valued at £70m. The wantaway player is heavily linked with a move to Chelsea and a deal might be reached in coming days.
Thiago Silva is not expected to sign a new contract at Stamford Bridge, so Chelsea has already begun to prepare for his departure this summer.
The 39-year-old has been a part of the West London club since 2020, amassing 137 appearances and securing significant trophies like the Champions League during his tenure.
Reportedly, the defender is not expected to extend his contract with Chelsea. Football Insider suggests that the club has initiated preparations to find his replacement in the upcoming summer.
One player on the Premier League side’s radar is Ousmane Diomande, a Sporting CP defender who holds a substantial £70 million release clause in his contract with the Portuguese club.
Chelsea appears interested in orchestrating a move for the 20-year-old this month, although it seems improbable at the moment. Diomande joined Sporting in January last year and has evolved into a key player for the Portuguese outfit.
At a price tag of £70 million, this potential transfer would mark another significant center-back acquisition for Chelsea. In recent transfer windows, the club has already secured the services of Axel Disasi, Benoit Badiashille, and Wesley Fofana.
If the deal materializes, the 20-year-old could potentially be one of the final pieces in the defensive setup for the Blues. However, at Stamford Bridge, certainty regarding transfers can always be uncertain.
