Thiago Silva’s wife sends transfer announcement hint on Instagram as Chelsea close in on signing!!
Chelsea are closing in on their second signing in as many days.
The Blues confirmed the £50 million capture of left-back Ben Chilwell from Leicester City on Wednesday afternoon with the club expected to continue to reinforce their defence.
Chelsea are now close to doing that with the signing of experienced defender Thiago Silva, who is available on a free transfer after the expiry of his contract at Paris Saint-Germain.
The 35-year-old has agreed a one-year deal at Stamford Bridge, with the option of a second at the end of the season.
Reports suggest that the defender will sign for Chelsea today (Thursday), and the player’s wife has posted a hint on Instagram that that could be the case.
Her Instagram stories show a picture that appears to be showing an interview taking place with Silva.
The caption reads “you only see the glamour hahahahaha.”
The picture comes days after she posted a picture of her and her children getting ready to board an airplane along with the message: “Arriving the day of the decision and as always, we will be with you captain @thiagosilva, side by side !! Departed Lisbon.”
Silva has been with Paris Saint-Germain since 2012, making a total of 315 appearances for the club.
The defender posted a heartfelt goodbye to the club on Instagram ahead of his next move.
"The value of things is not in the time they last but in the intensity with which they happen,” he said.
"For this reason, they are unforgettable moments, unexplainable things and incomparable people.
"Today a cycle ends, after eight years with the PSG team I would like to thank my teammates, the whole technical team and management, the fans, my family, God and friends, for all of these happy moments we experienced in the City of Lights.”
