Thiago Silva has privately decided his Chelsea future and will communicate his decision in the coming days.
The 39-year-old defender was in tears after Saturday’s 1-0 defeat to Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley.
Silva may have missed his last chance to win silverware for Chelsea, with his contract expiring in June.
When asked if he had made a decision about leaving Chelsea, Silva said: “You are going to know in the coming days. I don’t want to say anything now after a defeat.
“I’m sad about the result, but sooner or later, the news will come out.
“I do have a decision made in my mind, but it’s not the moment to share it.”
Silva joined Chelsea on a free transfer in 2020 and was a key part of the side that won the Champions League in 2021.
He competed well against City and says he has no plans to retire, adding: “My four years here were very good. Not that I didn’t believe in myself, but with my age and the intensity of this league…it’s rare to see players in a high level at 39.
“I don’t like to talk about myself, but you can see this. Today, I was ready to play the extra time! I can see I have some years in me to keep enjoying football.”
