“He’s not Chelsea standard again” “It’s time for him to leave” – Pochettino told to let unwanted Chelsea star go
Thiago Silva, a defender for Chelsea, will have a contract expire at the end of the current one.
The seasoned Brazilian is already 39 years old and will turn 40 before the year is out. He has been a quality performer for Chelsea since joining the team in 2020.
It’s time for the team to let go of Thiago Silva and have faith in the younger players, according to former Blue Frank Leboeuf.
“I think the Chelsea defenders have done enough, especially against Manchester City, to prove that they can cope without Thiago Silva,” Leboeuf told BetVictor.
“The defence was so strong against City’s forwards who are amazing.
“Thiago Silva has been a fantastic player for Chelsea and I don’t want to deny that, but there is a time for everything to come to an end.
“The young defenders at the club have proven that they are ready to play and I’m not even sure they would’ve been better off with him in the team against Liverpool.
“I’m not sure it will be a good thing if he stays next season.
“It is time for him to leave and time for us all to say thank you to him.
“I had my time, Marcel Desailly had his time and so did John Terry, there is an end for everyone.”
