After four years donning the Chelsea Blue shirt, Thiago Silva has now said goodbye in an emotional video.
The veteran defender who joined the West London side in August 2020, will end his Chelsea journey at the end of the current campaign.
However, he hopes to come back for a different role in the future, to continue to help the club.
In an emotional video with Chelsea, Silva said “Chelsea means a lot to me. I came here with the intention of staying for a year, but it ended up being four years.

The next season, he won both the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup titles.
