Good news for Chelsea as £100k-a-week star set to sign new contract at Stamford Bridge

Chelsea defender and Brazil international Thiago Silva in a recent statement has hinted at extending his time at Stamford Bridge into a fourth season.

The Blues star revealed his contract talks are going positively with Chelsea.

Speaking on life after retirement, Silva revealed he was already working on getting a coaching licence.

‘I’m living this moment very much, I’m trying to enjoy it a lot, you know,’ underlined Thiago.

‘However, we need to think about a post-career plan now. I’ve already started thinking about that, I’ve already started the CBF [the Brazil Football Federation] coaching licence.

‘It is difficult to advance to the next stages, because of having to be with the club, do the trainings and follow our team. But I’ll always try to do it on my holidays, when I have time.

‘Of course, I don’t want to finish my career this year or next year. Let’s see what happens in the future, maybe I become a coach or get involved in football, which is something I love.’
