Chelsea reportedly have three names in mind as they look to replace veteran defender Thiago Silva in 2022.
The Brazilian, capped 101 times at international level, has been great for Chelsea since joining in August last year. He has helped the Blues to lift both the Champions League and UEFA Super Cup.
Silva’s experience is brushing off on the likes of Antonio Rudiger, Andreas Christensen and Trevor Chalobah. All three have improved no end in the last few months.
However, his Stamford Bridge fairytale will not last forever. Chelsea have a strict policy for players such as Silva that are over the age of 30.
