Mrs. Silva has appeared to ask the veteran defender to quit Chelsea at the end of the season.
Thiago Silva’s wife Belle has appeared to ask her husband to ditch Chelsea at the end of the season or else it “will be too late”.
The veteran Brazilian centre-back continues to form an important part of Mauricio Pochettino’s first-team squad and one imagines he could still be a regular for the Blues even as he approaches his 40th birthday.
Silva is in the final six months of his contract and Chelsea are seemingly looking at replacement centre-backs, having sounded out both Nice's Jean-Clair Todibo and Sporting's Ousmane Diomande.

The club could also decide to continue with their focus on a more youthful squad and that might mean Silva is allowed to make way for younger talents like Levi Colwill, Wesley Fofana, Axel Disasi and Benoit Badiashile.
The player himself is seemingly no closer to deciding, as he says he still plans to take some time to think about it.
“I’m closer to the end of my career. I will continue to play football, but it is not yet decided where,” Silva told ESPN Brasil, as cited and translated by Sport Witness.
