Africa-Press – Eritrea. <\/strong><\/span>Chelsea’s Brazilian defender Thiago Silva announced on Monday that he would be leaving the English Premier League side at the end of the season.<\/p>\n

In a video published on the London club’s Instagram account, a teary-eyed Silva said he intended to return to the Blues “one day.”<\/p>\n

“Chelsea means a lot to me. I came here with the intention of only staying for a year and it ended up being four years. Not just for me but for my family, too,” said 39-year-old Silva.<\/p>\n

“I think everything I did here over the four years, I always gave my all. But, unfortunately, everything has a start, a middle and an end. That doesn\u2019t mean that this is a definitive end. I hope to leave the door open so that in the near future I can return, albeit in another role here,” he added.<\/p>\n

Silva, who joined Chelsea from French Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain in August 2020, won seven league titles with his former club.<\/p>\n

During his time with Chelsea, he helped bag the 2021 UEFA Champions League title, along with the 2022 FIFA Club World Cup.<\/p>\n

In earlier years, he had won the 2011 Italian Serie A title while playing for AC Milan.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian, who netted seven goals in 113 appearances for his country’s national team, also clinched the 2019 Copa America.<\/p>\n
