At present there is significant contract discussions ongoing at Stamford Bridge. A number of their top players have deals expiring in the not too distant future. Antonio Rudiger is one of the priorities with his coming to an end in 2022.
Fellow defender Anders Christensen is in the same boat. The Danish international is Said to be in a standoff with the club.
And Mason Mount is behind them in the list. Chelsea are set to offer him a bumper new deal which would see his wages double.
One man who will not be renewing his deal, however, is veteran centre-back Thiago Silva.
The Brazilian and the Blues activated the one-year extension option in the summer to keep him in London for his second season.
But the 37-year-old will be leaving come mid-2022 as he nears the end of his legendary career.
Despite his age, Silva has shown for the Blues that he is still a top quality defender. Thomas Tuchel has often relied on him to lead the backline.
Therefore, he will be a positive influence wherever he ends up. That’s something Fluminense from his home country recognise.
