Chelsea have extended defender Thiago Silva's contract for a further year, keeping him at the club until 2022. The club confirmed they have taken up the option to extend the Brazilian's current deal on the same day as Thomas Tuchel, who has signed a new contract through to June 2024. "Thiago has duly shown everyone at Chelsea his immense quality throughout this season, and he has had a huge influence on and off the pitch for us," said Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia. Thiago Silva contract extended. Silva won the Champions League with Chelsea in the final against Manchester City last week despite having to be subbed off with an injury in the first half of the clash in Porto.
