According to Mauricio Pochettino, Chelsea and Thiago Silva are not discussing a possible contract extension.
The superstar Brazilian left Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2020 to sign a free transfer with the Blues. He has since signed one-year contracts to remain at Stamford Bridge and is a consistent starter for them.
This season, the 39-year-old has played in 23 games across all competitions and has not shown any symptoms of slowing down. They’ve had six clean sheets thanks to him as well. After the season, his current contract expires, and he will be available for free agency.
Chelsea plotting surprise January moves for Real Madrid and Liverpool legends
According to reports, Chelsea is considering surprise loan deals for former Liverpool star Roberto Firmino and Real Madrid great Karim Benzema in January.
Given Nicolas Jackson’s unavailability due to AFCON and Christopher Nkunku’s injury concerns, the Blues clearly lack alternatives in the attacking department. Armando Broja, who has only scored twice in 17 appearances this season in all competitions, has likewise fallen short of expectations.
The Blues are considering January loan deals for Benzema and Firmino, which would come fewer than six months after their respective transfers to the Saudi Pro League, according to the Telegraph. The French sensation, who won 25 championships and scored 354 goals in 648 games over his 14 seasons at Real Madrid, has agreed to a three-year contract with Al-Ittihad that may bring in over €100 million.
In 20 games across multiple levels, the 36-year-old Benzema has scored 12 goals and provided five assists, demonstrating his success in the Middle East. Firmino’s record at Al-Ahli is very different from this; since his opening-day hat-trick in the 3-1 league victory against Al-Hazem, he hasn’t scored in 18 games.
