Club reach agreement with Chelsea for the signing of a world-class player

Chelsea star Thiago Silva is all set to leave Stamford Bridge in the summer as he reached a verbal agreement with Fluminense.

Now the 39-year-old has decided to quit Chelsea as he is on the verge of joining Brazilian giants Fluminense on a free transfer at the end of the 2023/24 season, GOAL can confirm.

The veteran defender has already reached a verbal agreement with Fluminense and will officially sign for them once his contract with the Blues expires on June 30.

Amid all the speculation – former Blues star Frank Leboeuf feels that it is the right time for the Brazilian to leave the club: ‘I think the Chelsea defenders have done enough, especially against Manchester City, to prove that they can cope without Thiago Silva,’ Leboeuf told BetVictor.
