Fabrizio Romano has an update on the most recent Chelsea transfer news in his special column for the Day by day Briefing today, showcasing a appear at Thiago Silva’s long run and who could swap him if he does leave.
The Blues have Silva nearing the finish of his contract, with the veteran Brazilian defender set to be a absolutely free agent at the close of this year, with Romano acknowledging that there is presently some speculation that he could be a concentrate on for Fluminense.
Still, Romano insists there is not been a final decision produced on Silva’s long run but, with the participant ultimately established to have the last say on what happens to him subsequent.
Meanwhile, Romano would seem unconvinced by the transfer rumours involving Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni getting a goal for Chelsea.
The Italy intercontinental is a prime participant and could be best to substitute Silva at Stamford Bridge, while Romano has pointed out that he only just lately signed a new offer with his current club, so this doesn’t glimpse a particularly probably story.
“One participant with an unsure potential is Thiago Silva – we know he’s heading to the conclude of his contract, at this time creating him a free agent in summer months 2024, and there are some reports that he could shift back again to Brazil with Fluminense at the stop of this year,” Romano wrote.
“Still, my knowledge is that Silva has not decided anything at all at this stage and no choice will be made now. It will be up to the player, and he will choose in 2024. In my impression Thiago is even now a wonderful defender but for him and Chelsea to go on collectively they want to be 100% certain on the two player and club side.
“If Silva had been to depart Chelsea, could they signal a substitution? There’s absolutely nothing concrete on that for now as Silva’s long term has not been decided in any case, so I’d say current rumours linking the Blues with Alessandro Bastoni are really untimely. I’m not mindful of any call with the Inter defender, however of course it is uncomplicated to mention “interest” for one particular of the most talented remaining footed centre-backs in Europe.
“Bastoni not long ago signed new deal at Inter, and as much as I’m mindful there’s practically nothing else occurring at this stage.”
