Thiago Silva has tearfully revealed that he will leave Chelsea at the end of the season when his contract expires.
Speaking on social media, Silva announced that his time at Chelsea will come to an end in the summer after four years at the club.
Chelsea posted a video of the Brazilian on their social media pages, where he could not hude his emotions.
Through tears, the legendary centre-back said: “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.
“I think in 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’t 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.
“But… it’s an indescribable love. I can only say thank you.”
“It is already hard saying goodbye in the most normal of circumstances but when there is a mutual love, it’s even harder. But once a blue, always a blue.”
Making a promise to return, he added: “Goodbyes are for those who leave and don’t come back. I intend on coming back one day.”
