Reputable source Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Thiago Silva will end his four-year relationship with Chelsea this summer. The veteran midfielder did not renew his contract with “The Blues” and is likely to return home to play for Fluminense.

Silva is instrumental in Chelsea’s 2021 Champions League victory. Right from the present time, the home team at Stamford Bridge has had to identify goals in the transfer market to fill the gap left by the defensive leader.

Tribal Football reported that “The Blues” identified Barca’s Ronald Araujo as a replacement for Silva. The West London giant promoted the deal by first contacting the representative of the Uruguayan midfielder.

Possessing a fiery playing style and leadership qualities, Araujo is fully capable of commanding Chelsea’s defense. Coach Xavi wants to keep his student, but Barca is ready to sell the pillar for 100 million euros to solve the financial problem.

In addition to “The Blues”, Araujo is also pursued by many big men. The home team at Stamford Bridge will have to compete with MU and Bayern Munich in the race to own the signature of the 25-year-old star.
