LONDON — Brazil defender Thiago Silva will leave Chelsea at the end of the season after four years at the club. The 39-year-old Silva says he is leaving the door open for a return to Chelsea "in another role." He says in a message to Chelsea's fans: "Goodbyes are for those that leave and don't come back. I intend on coming back one day." Silva joined Chelsea in 2020 after his contract at Paris Saint-Germain expired. He says he only planned to stay at the English club for one season.
