Chelsea Icon Tells World Class Act Its Right Time To Make Move

Former Chelsea defender Frank Leboeuf believes the time is right for Thiago Silva to leave the club and has advised against trying to persuade the veteran to stay.

He is out of contract at the end of the season and although some fans are keen for Silva to stay – particularly given the lack of leadership and experience in the squad – it seems that the Brazilian is dead set on departing the club.

It has been mentioned in previous weeks that a move back to his Homeland of Brazil is the preferred destination for the big man – and with just a few months left of the season – the club have not started any sorts of talks with the South American

Now – amid all the speculation – Leboeuf feels the Brazilian should not be retained, with the team’s young centre-backs instead coming to the fore

‘I think the CHELSEA FC defenders have done enough, especially against Manchester City, to prove that they can cope without Thiago Silva,’ Leboeuf told BetVictor.
